This page describes the standing weekly shape of the East Coast studio: what is prepared in the afternoon, what is never rushed after dusk, and how a week is closed before Saturday lock-up.
Late Light
Tuesdays begin with the calendar: six weeks forward, every channel noted, every cut-off written in ink. Afternoons are for reading drafts aloud at the slab while light still comes from the porch.
We do not schedule new creative reviews after 17:30. After that hour the room is for marking, filing, and signing — not for introducing fresh strategy. Dusk is when the corridor lamp goes to half brightness and the shutter comes down one panel.
Fridays end with signed-out stacks on the shelf by the door; anything not signed stays in the drawer with a note on the cover. Saturday morning is sweeping, labelling, and a quiet hour with the chest open for anyone who booked a collection.
- Mon — closed; messages logged for Tuesday.
- Tue — calendar and index updates.
- Wed — draft returns.
- Thu — retainer and advisory sessions.
- Fri — sign-out preparation.
- Sat — collections and filing.
On the porch
Late light is the best time to see the room as we leave it: boards clear, drawers labelled, the street quiet. Book near 18:00 if you want that view. The Porch has hours and directions.
