If you learn that you can cover an enormous amount of ground. I’d go to Surrogate’s Court and listen to the calendar being called for a particular case – it might come up in 10 minutes or in an hour – I thought, look, I could write then. Lots of writers think you need rest and calm, your slippers and a cigar, and all that. That’s all very well if you can have those things, but you don’t need them. So I picked up a great deal of time that way. If you have a notebook, you can fill that in constantly.<br /><br />My Pen Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10163003696435139513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-39096148843892662902016-07-30T02:54:12.751-04:002016-07-30T02:54:12.751-04:00Hi, MItch, I'm not sure why it did that, excep...Hi, MItch, I'm not sure why it did that, except you have to make sure you add one to your cart before you proceed to checkout maybe?

But I'm guessing there's no evidence of that at all, and further, based on the working habits you describe, I'm sure he'd bristle at the suggestion.<br /><br />Do you have any idea of how he approached a drawing - i.e. blocking-in versus starting at a specific area (like nose or eyes) and working outward, windowshade style?Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.com
