So I have to create the whole thing afresh for myself each time. Probably all writers now are in the same boat.

Richard merely thought it foolish of her to like excitement when she knew it was bad for her heart. It was childish, he thought. And both were quite wrong. What she liked was simply life.
~ Virginia Woolf
