Only a writer of certain abilities could make the mundane morning commute a thing of rapt attention and joy of the written word. I so enjoyed this read, as I do of most of yours. Do you write all your works longhand first? Then type them out? (I know you are a large fan of the clickity-clack machine...of the desk set, not to be confused with the steel centipede of travel you take to work.) I'm much more of a fly by the seat of your britches sort of creator. All on keyboard. Though I fear that is more an aspect of how I attack all of life. Having a life of routine certainly would be helpful in life, and a way to accomplish things with efficiency. Large Sigh of lack of organization skills and followthrough. Oh well, it sort of works ( :

I love that your area of writing at Toad Hall is the perfect sanctuary for the mind and creative spirit. And what a view. Particularly in the early AM quiet, before the rest of the world is stirring. Very peaceful and no doubt creatively stimulating indeed. I've always envied folks too who can think creatively on a train or in a coffee shop, as DDA often does too. My brain bings around too much to focus, with all that stimulation. Great ideas spring forth for the impetus of a project in those environs, but follow through, forget it. Has to be a quiet room. I look forward to your next piece on the 'day of work'. Your job must be rather fascinating, with all the characters that come and go downtown. A writer's paradise of brainfodder. Thanks again for a great read, and cheers to a nice Saturday.
