A good man, a talented historian and a tiny little writing space!
I wonder if he’s thinking about getting another shed…
Please don’t think
I’m not your sort
You’ll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.
Would he be getting the second shed specifically to write in?
Actually, the additional shed isn’t that important. Did you read his latest historical book…
Just don’t call him David “Two Sheds” McCullough.
Reminds me of Charles Dickens, who wrote in a tiny chalet behind his house.
Or Mark Twain, who favored an enclosed gazebo at his summer house.
So there IS an additional shed then?
The words are too big and there are too many of them. Best to trap them in a small room surrounded with other words. All the better to force them to paper.
It looks pretty practical, but if it was me, I’d at least have a toilet and fridge.
If he gets rid of the shed he’ll be David “No Sheds” McCullough.
Gustav Mahler had THREE SEPARATE SHEDS for composing!
I’ve visited the one on the north shore of the Worthersee in southern Austria, near his country house. It had a cute lil’ outhouse about 50 feet away, where he took D Major dumps!
(Link to a “lifestyle guide to shedworkers since 2006,” which is hilarious)
That’s why Richard Strauss and the boys down at the piano shop always called him Gus “Drei Schuppen” Mahler.
Roald Dahl also had a writing shed. Hemingway favored the room above the garage.
Get your own arts program, you fairy!
I’m pretty sure E.B. White wrote Charlotte’s Web in a shed in Brooklin, Maine.
They say Dylan Thomas was kind of sheddy: Dylan Thomas’s Writing Shed in Laugharne
Stephen King’s early writing was in a tiny furnace room of the mobile home he and his wife were renting.
