   Do you have an imaginary "ultimate writing environment" ?

   Mine is based on the place where I spent my summers when I was in high school. It's the little town where my parents live now and with nothing better to do I just wrote all day.

   I think I'm better at telling stories now, though. But I never have poured out words at that rate again. Drips and drabs.

     I have this fantasy about the "ultimate writing environment" small town, the more boring the better. One Dollar General with limited hours, a little apartment above an abandon video rental just off the highway. A mysteriously slow internet connection. No car. Just walk over the bridge to go to the store every day or write.

     That said, I think this is a kind of mirage. The best place to write is ... now. Just before a job interview. On the bus. In the middle of the night when you can't sleep.
