Driving takes hold of the left brain and then the right brain is
freed—that’s what some writer friends and I have theorized.
But I can’t always stop when I get an idea. It depends on the
road— North Dakota, no traffic. When I’m driving on a very
empty stretch of road I do write with one hand. It’s hardly
legible, but still, you don’t want to have to stop every time.”

Post Note: As unimpressed as I have been with Erdrich's writing (several attempts, half-finished readings, abandoned books bedside), this quote sings.
