Dominiqué Aury Writing Quote

Imagine this as text. Not the words on a page but the manner in how they were composed. Dominiqué Aury wrote:

lying on her side with her feet tucked up under her, a soft black pencil in her right hand… the girl was writing the way you speak in the dark when you’ve held back the words of love too long and they flow out at last. For the first time in her life, she was writing without hesitation, without stopping, rewriting or discarding; she was writing the way one breathes, or dreams… she was still writing when the street cleaners came by at the first touch of dawn.

I too do so in a similar (but slow) deliberate manner. As I do when I write in my notebook next to my partner in the coffee shop.
