For those wondering about my preferred writing ✍🏻 habits, here they are in a nutshell: iced tea/coffee (today water in the cup), smoking good tobacco in my pipe, writing notes and ideas on the back of the manuscript I am editing, a reasonably quiet place (outdoors during good weather; indoors during bad), writing by hand with a pen, and taking photos or walking around or posting when stuck for an idea. The satchel contains manuscripts, pens, notes, phone-recharging stuff, and maybe a few other odds and ends for the day.
