I have been working from home because of the Olympics. Advantages: I can get a lot done.  Disadvantages: you miss your sights of the world that are the nuggets that stories spring from.  The overheard phrase on the train; the glimpse of an interaction as you walk past, all of which can cause a chain of creativity to spark.  Instead, I am quite mechanistic and efficient.  Need to rebalance.

The fourth day of working from home.  The world came in through the radio, packed, prepared and pre-sliced.  It tasted bland, without the sauce of individualism.
