Special post--writing a novel in war-torn Ukraine--

I remember the 74 year old dancer, who complained about the floor surface in my literary salon,

another friend, gay, who went to Afghanistan to make monoprints on the scene--writing the captions in mirror script--

why had he not just taken photos? Monoprints take a long time--

I'll never complain again.

Anyone can write anywhere--in prison, in your head, in bed, sitting on the toilet.
