The map has been barely marked

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.” 
 

 

-Louise Erdrich

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