Homework for daydreamers:
Locate the precise spot in the university library where your novel or collection of short stories could be shelved someday, when you write it. Photograph it, if you can. Who would your neighbors be there? Would you be in good company? Print the photo out and stick it on your refrigerator, to remind yourself in the mornings where you want to go, eventually.

Locate the precise spot in a good bookstore where your novel or short stories would be shelved, when you write it. Who's there? Living or dead? How are they different from you? Take a picture of this also, and use it for a bookmark to remind you of your destination.
