I find that even small changes sometimes jog you out of a mental rut.

Nothing beats novel writing because it's complete expression of you. You just control everything. Not even a movie director has that level of control.

At the typewriter you find out who you are.

It's really fun to have a convection oven, even it if it's a little convection toaster oven. It really changes the way you bake.

Even when I jog, I need a place to get to.

I did a lot of reading of the Bible and became fascinated with the idea of the Rapture. It's pretty wild. I hadn't heard of it until I was in college.
