A Short Exchange About Doors

Facebook may be passé in ten years (maybe less), but for now it's a virtual pub for the global village. While contemplating my recent fixation on doors, I posted a question in my Facebook status and received this lively exchange:

Carolyn Burns Bass Now that I have a door on my studio, do I dare close it?

And lock it!

Better not, you might get trapped in there.

Are you asking for permission? The answer is YES.

I have found that a bad attitude works just as well as a closed door. :-)

that depends on whether you're on the inside or the outside.

I'm working on a blog post about my door. You know Virginia Woolf's famous essay, A Room of One's Own? I've had the room, but it didn't have a door. It was a thoroughfare from one side of the house to the other. The door is so tempting.

Close it now! Close if fast before you lose your resolve.

But is it really about closing it or having the choice to .... if you so chose?

Don't open it until you've had a satisfactory number of words produced each day.

Each person contributed a valid point to this little exchange about doors. We'll explore these points and others here in Ovations over the next few weeks.
