Always Open

The writer’s hours are 24/7. Same for the painter and the musician, hauling themselves out of bed to get the guitar part tracked at 3am, playing impossibly soft to avoid waking up the neighbors again.

The muse loves regular hours, but we’re professionals. We take the midnight call, the random strike of inspiration, pissed off, cursing our boots, but swinging our feet out of bed anyway.

In the words of Troy Duffy from Boondock Saints, “we’re not always doing business, but we’re always open.”

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
