    I just like the part where he's writing on camera. I love to see a writer writing.

    "I see that ending and I write toward it; it's kind of waiting on me." -John Irving, on composing the last sentence of each novel first.

    Never read anything by the man, but there's some...gravitas???...that John Irving has that makes me assume I'd be in awe of his work. I guess I need to someday find out.

    "A writer's office". I was finally able to see the landscape and scene of such a study in the United States and foreign countries. Thank you for uploading this video.
    Like you, I am a Japanese writer. Every day, I repeat the same routine activities on the slopes, but each day is definitely different from God. I'm still watching this video while writing one piece. I haven't decided on a title yet, but it will be when I finish writing it. The "Writer's Study" series uploaded by Japanese people is really rare. Japan is probably not suited for such artist activities. So I thank God that I met you here for the first time.
    Thank you very much for your continued support.
    Please continue this series.
    I sincerely apologize for the long post.

    Writing by hand is such an aesthetic, pleasing way to write a novel. Way more than working on a computer or even typewriter could be.

    The house that Garp built. Always nice to hear one of my favorite writers talk abut writing. Can't believe he writes them out in longhand! Blows my mind.......you'd think the carpal tunnel would have set in by now. Many more years to you, John! Thanks for all the humor and empathy in your fantastic work.

    I remember reading The Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving about thirty years ago
    and enjoyed it. It was funny, sad and very quiky like most of his books. I read The world according to Garp that was an odd book full of strange
    characters. He's definitely an original and great writer.

    I too like to write by hand, but there are days arthritis keeps me from doing that,, but thats when I type what has been written, and finish what ever I am working on by typing. Then the next day write the remainder that I typed, this way I have a hard copy as well as an online back up copy.

      I believe it is a Pentel EnerGel Deluxe capped pen @1:21 or a variant of it.
      Quite often I use the Pentel RTX energel, which is retractable with a .5 mm needle tip (7mm also) and it writes beautifully at an affordable price. Good luck in your search James.

      It's a family house. When you're in a couple you're not always going to precise whose money bought it or who inherited it. Imagine if a husband whose wife didn't have a job and raised their kids would repeat "it's my house".
