Everybody approaches the empty page fearfully…or comparing themselves with somebody else. Don’t compare. Just feel that you’ve got it in you to say what you want to say and think about it. If you don’t get it today, you’ll get it tomorrow. A good thing that I’ve found is working at even one sentence, and when it doesn’t come and it doesn’t come and I can’t get the thing, is to go to bed with it at night and sleep on it. And then the next morning, don’t get out of bed, but think about it. And something happens in the process of sleep. There’s some wonderful machinery going on in your mind that sits up and eliminates all the things you’ve been thinking about when it comes down to the thing you want to focus on, and there it is.

Yip Harburg on the writing process, from a talk delivered at the Northwood Institute in Dallas, Texas, July 1978.
