For the next week, this is the office. (It’s nice to have a gorgeous place to go in Maine.)

West Grand Lake, Maine

The West Grand Lake Maine office.

Living on a wooded three acres on the flank of northern California’s Mt. Shasta leaves me little room for improvement in the “view out the window” department, but humans are oddly built; even a stunning view grows stale without the occasional change.

It’s true that writing allows us considerable freedom in how and where we work, but it’s also true — at least these days — it’s hard to make enough money wrangling words to truly enjoy that freedom.

This week, I’m enjoying it.

Keep writing (wherever you are), Tom Chandler.
