One Word At A Time

A quote I must share from the novel, Ahab's Wife, by Sena Jeter Naslund (a wonderful, absorbing, tale):


"She sat still, I thought and yet she travelled. (...) Writing a book, I thought, which men often do, but women only rarely, has the posture of sewing. One hand leads and the other hand helps. And books, like quilts, are made one word at a time, one stitch at a time."
