All writers have periods when they stop writing, when they cannot write, and this is always painful and terrible because writing is like breathing. - Audre Lorde

All writers have periods when they stop writing, when they cannot write, and this is always painful and terrible because writing is like breathing. - Audre Lorde
This remind me of a poem I wrote years ago:
The Art of Breathing
To find room for the new
you have to let go of
the old
so to learn how to write
I had to forget how
to breathe
and for a time I thought
I had to write to keep
breathing
which makes such perfect sense
but only if you’re a
poet.
