Kathryn: No offense, but you clearly have no understanding of the creative

process. As Lao Tzu so wisely said: “By not-doing, all can be

accomplished.” While I’m watching Linda, pausing now and then to fire off a

blog to The Corner, brilliant prose is fermenting quietly away just below

the surface of my mind. See? When it’s good and ready, I just open the

faucet, and out it pours onto the page.

That’s how books get written — by writers practicing not-writing. This, at

any rate, is the theory I am currently working on.

Ommmmmmm.
