And the store, strangely, people came to them and bought things, and they ended up paying the rent for our tutoring center, which was behind it, but to me, more important was the fact that I think the quality of work you do, kids would come and get instruction in writing, and when you have to walk this weird, liminal, fictional space like this to go do your writing, it's going to affect the kind of work that you make.
Por extraño que parezca la gente venía a comprar cosas y con eso pagábamos el alquiler del taller que estaba detrás, pero lo más importante para mí, es que la calidad del trabajo de uno, los niños venían a aprender a redactar, tener que pasar este umbral raro, de ficción, para ir a escribir afecta el trabajo que uno hace.
