It used to be that if you were a writer, one thing you didn’t have to worry about was outdoor lighting. Now, with the world turning increasingly from laptops, palmtops and even keyboard-equipped cell phones as tools to express themselves creatively, writers are no longer limited to being strictly “indoors” people when they practice their craft.
Of course, this shift simply allows us creative types to enjoy something folks like Henry Thoreau enjoyed a couple hundred years ago, which is the freedom to write about anything wherever he was. Of course, H.D. never had to worry about running low on batteries with his high-tech tools of trade: a pencil and a pad of paper.
