How Writers Write


by Leigh Lundin

More than one author admits to writing in bed, flat on one's back, some in pajamas, others stark naked. While admitting nothing, my thanks goes to a loyal reader who sent me the following by Australian filmmaker and cartoonist, Ethan Waghorn, who uses the internet name 'Atrumentis'.

    You've been peeking!

    Jokes aside, here’s to the speedy resolving of your internet problems.

  3. Liz, I think things percolate better in the horizontal!

    Thank you, ABA. I don't have a target date yet, but to paraphrase that famous French quotation, A day without internet is like a day without sunshine.

  7. That's great, Leigh. If I did that, though, I'd never get any sleep. And -- between the kids and cats -- I'd never find my laptop again! LOL

  8. Anon, we'll pretend it's your office.

    Dixon, I know what you mean. There has to be some separation between church and state, some distinction between work and play.

  9. Loved it! Oh, and as I get ideas in dreams, I sort of work in bed too!

  10. Jeff, ideas come to me all the time in dreams.

Welcome. Please feel free to comment.

Our corporate secretary is notoriously lax when it comes to comments trapped in the spam folder. It may take Velma a few days to notice, usually after digging in a bottom drawer for a packet of seamed hose, a .38, her flask, or a cigarette.

She’s also sarcastically flip-lipped, but where else can a P.I. find a gal who can wield a candlestick phone, a typewriter, and a gat all at the same time? So bear with us, we value your comment. Once she finishes her Fatima Long Gold.
