Le Guin’s advice—read when you cannot write, sleep when you cannot read—has been top of mind all week and I am intensely grateful.
oh, uh, ~~listen to my soundcloud~~, i mean, if you want to practice with Le Guin, join me for a small, creative gathering to imagine the future of work: https://everythingchanges.us/workshop/sf

A creative gathering to imagine the future of work.

@aworkinglibrary I hadn’t heard that Le Guin quote before. Damn does it hit home. Thanks for sharing.
@aworkinglibrary Visiting a city far from home, I had lunch with a writer friend-of-a-friend just today whose advice to me came down to this, pretty much. So now I'm sitting quietly with this resonance.

@aworkinglibrary

"As they say in Ekumenical School, when action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep."

(The Left Hand of Darkness)

@aworkinglibrary She was a nifty woman. Smart as a whip. Never let her fame go to her head. Incredibly nice & gracious, even to the superfans that really boundry stomped when she did her rare public book signings. I really liked her. She had a poise & grace that was all her own. Never seen it's like before or since.
@aworkinglibrary
Please do not forget to feed yourself as well.
@aworkinglibrary man I wish I could sleep on command.
@aworkinglibrary the challenge I have is that I cannot sleep. Should I be writing? Is it a circle?
@aworkinglibrary I had not heard this before and I like it very much
@aworkinglibrary my only problem is that this leaves no room to mindlessly consume youtube shorts
