1980 Scout II, Diesel & Winter Makers' Market Tonight
I'm having a very metrosexual week, working on my novel at Crema, a coffeeshop in urbane Portland, Maine. I feel somewhat hip. The coffee is okay and they've let me sit here for hours, reading through a 534pp first draft, making around a zillion notes. I'll call it a first draft, because it's the first print-out of the entire ms., but, line by line, it's more like the sixtieth. I was starting to feel dispirited, alone in the basement office in Freeport, wrestling with the ending of the book. Much more cheerful here. Writing is a lonely trade which is why you see so many of us in coffeeshops. The bonus is coming across cool street machines like this 1980 Scout II, which I met here on Commercial Street yesterday. I like the original late-70s interior decor. Jud Macintosh at Motorland Vintage in Biddeford Maine has her for sale: t 603. 817.1538.
