Good light, a big cuppa java, and a notebook in which to write her artist's three pages a day, as set forth in The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron A budding artist.
Note the little tiny notebook, the bunch of books (What does it all mean?), the phone, the mac book air, and the backpack with a tiny Japanese toy on it. All prepared to study metaphysics at Harvard!
In Boston and Cambridge, we really discovered the fun of meetups. The first meetup we went to was the movie The Words, with the Boston Movie Group. We went to the movie and then went out to dinner afterwards to discuss it. Great fun!
