Writer with His AlphaSmart


CD is keeping busy, brooding, playing multiple instruments, researching a projected novel and otherwise displaying the energy of a man half his age.

Heh, he says he's "retired."

I'm looking forward to the end results of all of this.

He mentions writers' rooms in the movie business, writers "staring off into space," seemingly not working, but thinking.  I'm reminded of reading something by a journalist at The Oregonian years ago--I'm certain it was the sports writer Paul Buker-- who commented on the frequency with which writers leave their desks and head to the water cooler--particularly as a deadline approaches.

Yep, sometimes that is what it takes to get it out there.
