Writing About Living in a Hole

Having the time to write, to photograph, to think and doodle at your own fee will is surely worth something. I do not know if I can live in cramped confines like this man, but there is surely something to the idea of limiting your physical horizons so you can look inwards.

    You can do it. I took a writing class and they said the secret to writing is writing. Go figure.
