“If you want something alive, try this, too: write ten, ten-minute timed writings about your father during a week’s time. The crazier the better. And if your mind goes to onions, trucks, ocean, straws, black shoes, don’t fight it. Follow that trail. See where it leads. What seems illogical often can take you to deeper, more fertile ground about your father. Also don’t worry if you repeat yourself.” (Natalie Goldberg, The True Secret of Writing)
