Following is an excerpt from Elisabeth Elliot’s September 29, 1969 journal, which describes a typical writing day for her.
“It is a Monday Morning and having put last night’s and this morning’s dishes in the dishwasher, I washed the remaining pots and pans, cleaned up the stove and counter, made the bed, and cleaned up the puppy’s scatterings. Then I checked my list for today: grocery-shopping, doctor’s appointment, pick up photographs, call locksmith to fix bathroom door, clean Add’s study, put prices on things for garage sale, write Tom, call Katherine, finish making skirt, wash hair, get out winter clothes, return book to library, iron, have Elizabeth for lunch. Now I have come down to my study to try to put in two hours of writing.”
