Re. Experiment #1 - Place

I suspect this could be a piece of work that takes some time to complete, if it's to be done thoroughly. I've done my first experiment, though. I suspect my belief that I write best


  1. mid-afternoon
  2. ideally following a siesta
  3. sat at my own computer


will be my conclusion once I have done sufficient experimentation.
.
There may be some value in working at the local library, where access to the computer is limited. It might mean I kick out more at a higher speed. Even if most of what I turn out is trash.

I do wonder, though -- how you know the difference between what is trash and what is gold? As a painter I know we are our own worst critics. I also know the temptations of over-working a piece. Sometimes you just have to let it go and see if it can fly. I suppose that is why we have Betas and Editors and Agents.

I love my Beta. I've yet to own an Editor or an Agent
