Reflections of a working writer and reader
"Whether in music or in fiction, the most basic thing is rhythm. Your style needs to have good, natural, steady rhythm, or people won't keep reading your work. I learned the importance of rhythm from music - and mainly from jazz. Next comes melody - which, in literature, means the appropriate arrangement of the words to match the rhythm. If the way the words fit the rhythm is smooth and beautiful, you can't ask for anything more. Next is harmony - the internal mental sounds that support the words. Then comes the part I like best: free improvisation. Through some special channel, the story comes welling out freely from inside. All I have to do is get into the flow. Haruki Murakami
Designer Sallie Trout built her shelves in an inaccessible stairwell which she reaches by a bosun’s chair. The chair is fastened to a chain hoist hanging from the ceiling.

I came across your page and found the blog really engaging. It not only got me reading but was also very informative. I am hoping to get more such worthwhile content to read. I will subscribe to your site right away. Please keep posting more.
Love it! I want one of them.
Great use of space! I don’t understand though how she gets up and down on the chain?
Wow! this is really nice. I like this style of placing bookshelves and also the hanging chair. Thanks for sharing this great idea. I will certainly try this in my home. The girl sitting in the hanging chair looks very comfortable while reading. I like also to try as I do have too many books. I am having problems in organizing them in a small room.
this is really interesting and I would definitely recommend this post. I find it funny and at the same time entertaining. It can easily be a new way to exercise yourself lolz. thanks for posting this one John.
That is really cool. I love the fact that it is mobile and accessible at the same time. Where can I get one?
Interesting concept …. wonder if there is a weight restriction on the bosun chair and chain ….
I have seen one of these before at a job site in cali, so I had one built for my wife!
Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening.
I appreciate you spending some time and effort to
put this information together. I once again find myself spending a lot of
time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
