The places where monks used to go to write back in the days when only a chosen few knew how to write, were called “scriptoriums.” These were sacred places, and the work they did considered holy. For years we’ve read about garrets and studios and hidden away cabins in hidden away woods where writers go for quiet and solitude. Some of us even make pilgrimages to these iconic places. I’ve longed for my own private cabin with a magnificent view, a fainting couch, and an inkboy to grind my ink.
