    "I see that ending and I write toward it; it's kind of waiting on me." -John Irving, on composing the last sentence of each novel first.

    "A writer's office". I was finally able to see the landscape and scene of such a study in the United States and foreign countries. Thank you for uploading this video.
    Like you, I am a Japanese writer. Every day, I repeat the same routine activities on the slopes, but each day is definitely different from God. I'm still watching this video while writing one piece. I haven't decided on a title yet, but it will be when I finish writing it. The "Writer's Study" series uploaded by Japanese people is really rare. Japan is probably not suited for such artist activities. So I thank God that I met you here for the first time.
    Thank you very much for your continued support.
    Please continue this series.
    I sincerely apologize for the long post.

    I remember reading The Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving about thirty years ago
    and enjoyed it. It was funny, sad and very quiky like most of his books. I read The world according to Garp that was an odd book full of strange
    characters. He's definitely an original and great writer.

      I believe it is a Pentel EnerGel Deluxe capped pen @1:21 or a variant of it.
      Quite often I use the Pentel RTX energel, which is retractable with a .5 mm needle tip (7mm also) and it writes beautifully at an affordable price. Good luck in your search James.

      It's a family house. When you're in a couple you're not always going to precise whose money bought it or who inherited it. Imagine if a husband whose wife didn't have a job and raised their kids would repeat "it's my house".
