I guess every writer who decided to put their thoughts down on paper was inspired by, or maybe just conscious of their location at the time of the writing. When writers consider their immediate environment, the environment affects the writing. It influences the tone and the slant.
Writing is hard work.
The writer is alone with his or her thoughts, never quite sure if what is being written would have any message, feeling or importance for anyone else. I am lucky in this regard. I have always endeavored to acknowledge where I was when I was inspired to write. I wanted my inspiration captured, and perhaps it was only this type of environmental inspiration that could catch the fancy of the reader. Well, I write tonight from New York City, where I have had an address for 20 years.
