How to Write in a Writer's Room

A few years ago you worked with The Thing Quarterly which was an object based publication and brainchild of the artist John Hershend and Will Rogan. Your issue was called a marvel of attractive simplicity, a brown cardboard box containing a text laden cutting board and the text was titled crying instructions. Though he was a subscriber for the first two years of The Thing I forgot to renew my subscription after issue eight so I missed issue nine and ten and eleven and twelve in all. It took a few years but I finally found one on eBay and after a furious bidding war I won it.
