Distraction

5:45 AM in my writing room. (note Diet Coke...this morning I read a new study indicating a higher risk 0f heart disease in people who consume diet drinks.)
The view from my writing room door....
I'm not a minimalist...(stuff everywhere...) Some mornings I can let anything distract me: Scientific studies and impending doom. The way early morning light creeps into the sculpture garden just outside my door. The painting hanging over my desk with its purple door and barebulb and straightback chair. A pregnant "daddy long-legs" spider traipsing across the wall. But where, oh where is the book I'm writing?
