Blood, Sweat And Delay
XVHEN I was an actress, I ’’ would wash everything from my baby to the china rather than learn my lines. As a writer, the situation is far more grave. I do everything imaginable to put off the anguished moment when I have to put pen to paper. I do “The Times” crossword in order to make certain my mind is in good shape. Then I go for a walk, ostensibly to joggle my brain. I read three daily papers, and five on Sundays, pretending to myself it’s necessary for me to be abreast with world events. I watch television, and if the worst comes to the absolute worst, I will take a bus to the outskirts of London in order to comfort someone who doesn’t need it, simply to put off the evil moment when I must categorically write an article. —Diana Graves in the 8.8. C. “Woman’s Hour.”
