February, 1941: The Writer

"The actual life comes in small pieces, but it creates great echoes. I focused on the human drama, movement, action. Less on the marvelous heightened sensations they caused. The writing grew tighter, more economical. The focus on life. In the last diaries, there is at last a fusion of life, fantasy, reverie, action, and they flow together. I dream, I carry out the dream, I live, I dream about what I live, and this nourishes the next step, which is the story," Anais Nin describes the act of writing in this entry of her Diary.

She continues to write erotica for the collector, and she spends every bit of her earnings and more, helping all the friends and acquaintances that she can.
