More Will Come of This
How wordly should a writer be. I tend to operate according to some notion of local first. As if by taking care of, or at least trying to pay attention to, the local, then larger-scale matters will be taken care of. The result is a bunch of local stuff, like the hulk of cloud just out my west window, which, if anyone read it, might give rise to the "so what" reflex.

I want to hear more about the cloud . . .
Oops, too late for that. This morning looks windy, palish. But the Sam Roberts luxo-bus is parked just down the alley.

you say more will come of this, I hope so... I am always very interested in hearing other writers' thoughts outside the obvious creative work..( does this make sense?!)
Sam Roberts! How dreamy...
Brenda, isn't Roberts just a Dan Tysdal rip-off? Anyway, by 8:00 this morning the bus was gone, heading Creighton way, I hear.

Thanks for your note. For me, almost every moment of writing begins with what's out that window, what's on this table, what's in this mind right now, and so on. That's how I get that sense of being most alive--most attentive, most responsive--when writing.
