Alice Lichtenstein
Inspiration comes in different forms: sometimes an image; sometimes an incident that confounds me. The image or incident lodges in my brain and gestates. I try to leave it alone. I know that it's there, but I trust the process of letting it sit and grow fat and hairy until it bursts into full-blown prose. Then it takes years of writing and re-writing to become a novel.
