Lucy Jane Bledsoe, on writing:
Writing is incredibly hard.
But I want to do it.
That said, I make it the top priority in every day, which for me means the first hours after getting out of bed in the morning.
I've been doing it enough years now that I don't even think about waiting for my muse to show up, I just get to work.
- Lucy Jane Bledsoe.
