Writing as a "Way of Making Other Chances"

I love this photo of the Russian River in California and what it evokes in me. The air is misty, mysterious. The kayaks seem to hover on the edge , just waiting for a casting off. Writing is like this to me- something always waiting, unknown, mysterious.  Anne Tyler writes: " Writing is my way of making other chances."  Yes, writing is a way to rewrite or change or extend who we are and our world.
