"What no (spouse) of a writer can understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out the window." - Burton Rascoe (1892 - 1957)

Your eyes look empty when you stare out but your mind is a-whirl and turning like mad...with visions of your scenes playing out like a movie in your head.

How they move...every gossamer breath on naked skin, every gentle touch, every fluid motion.

How they talk...the inflection of each word, the emotion behind each sentence said.

The glint of moonlight on a bare wooden floor...
The scent of pine and the cold touch of a mountain breeze...
The warmth of a crackling fire in a glowing hearth...

Yeah, right...and they think you're just sitting there doing nothing!

It is never nothing.
