Work habits

When it comes to writing, Bernard Malamud once said: "The real mystery to crack is you."

I write best in cafes, with my legs tucked under me or on a chair. Headphones help block out extraneous noise, but I'm okay with a little hustle and bustle. I can't write in silence. That itself is distracting.

I like having some level of human activity around me. I compose best at the keyboard. Coffee helps.
