A dose of inspiration courtesy of Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac:
'Ernest Hemingway rented himself a room in a hotel, and every morning, after breakfast, he would walk to his writing room and work.
He said: "I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, 'Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.'"
One of those sentences read,
"I have stood on the crowded back platform of a seven o'clock … bus as it lurched along the wet lamp lit street while men who were going home to supper never looked up from their newspapers as we passed Notre Dame grey and dripping in the rain."'
