We really don't have basements in Oz anyway - no tornadoes, no snow, no nuclear threat - or whatever the reason is for building basements! My office is in a corner of the house off the deck and the Pacific Ocean is my view. It inspires me.<br /><br />Still sorry I didn't get to meet.

I like your idea of writing from a cellar, a kind of isolated spot that limits the external but expands your vision. The only places I've lived that had cellars were dark and dank spots, not at all conducive to writing. May your writing always be supported by place and heart.Beth Camphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12682622561621269515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478463740718742925.post-78420083409122972292019-12-04T19:44:32.369+01:002019-12-04T19:44:32.369+01:00What a great attitude and so true - it is a proces...What a great attitude and so true - it is a process and you are certainly on your way.
