What's ironic about this process, is that while I was struggling to overcome my writer's block, I read a quote of Ray's that helped me finish the piece:
"I’ve never worked a day in my life. I’ve never worked a day in my life. The joy of writing has propelled me from day to day and year to year. I want you to envy me, my joy. Get out of here tonight and say: ‘Am I being joyful?’ And if you’ve got a writer’s block, you can cure it this evening by stopping whatever you’re writing and doing something else. You picked the wrong subject" (quoted on http://www.brainpickings.org).
He had a young heart and an old soul.
I wish I could have known him...
