“You need your broccoli in order to write well,” says Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird. “It means, of course, when you don’t know what to do, when you don’t know whether your character would do this or that, you get quiet and try to hear that still small voice inside. It will tell you what to do.”
Some experts believe that the “still small voice inside” that Lamott describes, gave way to rote learning and literal thinking when we were elementary school kids. Around the third grade many of us swapped our imagination and creativity for left-brain logical thinking.
