Once upon a time I was enamoured with the figure of The Writer. This tortured, eccentric sole displayed aspects of King, Hemingway andwhoever else I happened to be enamoured with at the time. He was the sort of fellow who would do things like sit under bridges with a notepad and a chewed old Bic pen and (optionally) a bottle of scotch.
I got over it. The art is the important part. You write wherever you're most comfortable.
