The story is told of a woman who broke into the home of another woman, a writer, and forced her from her bed and into her study, where for three hours she held a loaded gun to her head after whispering the words, “Now write something.”
“It is difficult to write under such conditions,” the writer kept saying, writing, but at the end of three hours she happily announced that she might have the start of something, and that, said the intruder, was all she needed to hear.
