Quote: Ann Patchett on Writing and Afternoon Tea

Ann Patchett is an American author who received both the PEN/Faulker award and Orange Prize for Fiction in the same year for Bel Canto, her fourth novel.

On writing and afternoon tea, she says:

Writing is the imaginary friend

you drink your tea with

in the afternoon.

Or if you’re more of a coffee person, I suppose that’ll work too. Afternoon tea, coffee, soda or water, just write.

Have a great weekend and Happy August in advance!
