Le Guin’s advice—read when you cannot write, sleep when you cannot read—has been top of mind all week and I am intensely grateful.

@aworkinglibrary May I ask where you found this quote? One of her fans asking ... I couldn't find the quote and never heard it before.
@NatureMC I'm paraphrasing from Left Hand ("when action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep") but I believe she also said the shorter version in an interview at least once (alas, google fails on all fronts these days)
@aworkinglibrary Thank you very much! 😊
oh, uh, listen to my soundcloud, i mean, if you want to practice with Le Guin, join me for a small, creative gathering to imagine the future of work: https://everythingchanges.us/workshop/sf
@aworkinglibrary She was a nifty woman. Smart as a whip. Never let her fame go to her head. Incredibly nice & gracious, even to the superfans that really boundry stomped when she did her rare public book signings. I really liked her. She had a poise & grace that was all her own. Never seen it's like before or since.
