I wish I was so in the flow that I could write in bookstore windows and in the middle of loud conferences and on radio shows and on sidewalks and in art galleries while being gawked at. I think that must be a real cool ability.

Just sit there and write a perfectly sound and good short story while being watched. Or have callers give him a title or specific words that needed to be in the story, and in short order, he'd crank out a respectably skilled and interesting tale. As he put it often, "Writers write", and it doesn't matter where or under what circumstances. You can write.<BR/><BR/>So, I think I'll root for the crazy novelists-performance-artists. :D<BR/>MirAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
