Setting the Mood

"Every page was once a blank page, just as every word that appears on it now was not always there, but instead reflects the final result of countless large and small deliberations. All the elements of good writing depend on the writer's skill in choosing one word instead of another" Francine Prose

Everything has to be perfect. Just so.

Music at the right volume - not too loud - not overpowering a thought but loud enough to create an unobtrusive constant. There is something so un-progressive about the sound of a distant airplane, lawn mower, car alarm. The remote needs to be close. MP3's lack volume consistency. You get what you don't pay for.

A coffee.. no... a water... no - both.

A book - maybe two. The mood may change.

A note book, pens (different colours).

A piece of fruit.

Book tabs - book tabs are essential.

Comfy clothes, pillows, a blanket.

A large window.

Then. Only then.

Only then can you truly enjoy the sun seeping through the warmed glass.
