Favorite Place to Write
 "An old chair—it was my grandfather's when he worked in a bank in New Jersey in the '50s and '60s.  It's a big heavy thing, duct-taped, stuffing falling out, not particularly comfortable, but I've convinced myself if I switch chairs I'll never write again."
  
 

 

 








If you want to pursue your art seriously, personally and professionally, it is not impossible.  It is doable." -Elise Juska
