The memoir, up until that point, had flowed out of me. Then BAM...a wall. An author friend told me to to just walk away for a bit. Don't push it. Put the project away and cleanse my head then revisit when I was ready. So I put it aside. And when I came back a couple of weeks later, instead of trying to push through the part that was blocked, I wrote other parts that I could insert in the book elsewhere. It worked! It was like mental Drano. I was back on track and finished my memoir.

I liken writer's block to that Chinese finger game. You know that little woven contraption you put your two fingers in and pull? The harder you pull, the more difficult it is to release your fingers. It's just like writer's block. The harder you try, the more you're building up your wall. Walk away. Breathe. Read another book. Take a hike. Watch a movie. Release the pressure on yourself and magical things will happen.(less)

Being a writer is like being an active participant in your own dreams. You can make anything happen with a pen and notebook in hand. It's like a magic wand. I'm so thankful I was blessed with the love of writing.(less)

“I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me”
Lisa Goich-Andreadis, 14 Days: A Mother, A Daughter, A Two Week Goodbye

“Parent/Child care giving begins in the womb. A mother gently strokes her own belly to soothe her baby’s restlessness, watching what she eats and staying away from anything that might harm her child. When the baby is born, it’s a 24/7 vigil of care—swaddling, diapering, anticipating cries and deciphering what they mean, feeding, cleaning, keeping their child comfortable, happy and healthy.”
Lisa Goich-Andreadis, 14 Days: A Mother, A Daughter, A Two Week Goodbye

“The day the roles reverse is foreign. It’s a clumsy dance of love and responsibility, not wanting to cross any lines of respect. It’s honoring this person who gave their life to you—not to mention literally gave you life—and taking their fragile body in your hands like a newborn, tending to their every need.”
Lisa Goich-Andreadis

“I wonder if my first breath was as soul-stirring to my mother as her last breath was to me”
Lisa Goich-Andreadis, 14 Days: A Mother, A Daughter, A Two Week Goodbye

“I don't know much about being a millionaire, but I'll bet I'd be darling at it.”
Dorothy Parker

“Tell him I was too fucking busy-- or vice versa.”
Dorothy Parker

“If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.”
Dorothy Parker

“Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”
Nora Ephron
