How did we arrive at "cave" as the best metaphor for focused work?
I guess caves work as a cozy shelter from the storm for hermit-types. But I see a place like this and expect the resurrected Jesus to tap on my shoulder.

Alternately, I imagine something equally tomb-ish. Whatever you do, don't blink.

Anyhow, I may be a bit less active on social media for a while, aside from some guest appearances planned well in advance. I'll be, you know, in the strange place we call "the cave."
How do you think of your productive zone? How do you picture your "writing cave"?
I love the slightly beautiful cave. My productive zones are my dining room table or in my sun room depending on the season. Good luck being productive.
ReplyDeleteYour "caves" sound lovely. Thanks for the well wishes. Write on! :-)
DeleteHello Laurel
ReplyDeleteOn his recommendation, I've popped over from Michael di Gesu's blog (http://writing-art-and-design.blogspot.com/) and I'm so glad I did.
Best wishes

Nice to meet you, Felicity! Right, Michael was featuring my debut for letter N. One loses track of time in the cave. LOL.
DeleteHi Laurel
ReplyDeleteI think morning sunlight, great coffee and alone!
I find it difficult since there are a few bats nesting in my cave, right now and this retired Navy eagle. My crow like tendencies are trying to distract him, lol. My husband recently retired-he squawks a lot more than I thought ;D
Hi Ella, thanks for stopping by! Good luck distracting the eagle who insists of roosting in your cave. I say get him busy working on his own roost or perhaps a hunting expedition. :-)
