#PantsNaNoWriMo day 13: On the value of daydreaming, and - though only writing counts as writing - how this is the great cheat if you don't have unlimited time to write. Also, a poem about poets and windows.

The poem I read is "Monday," from Billy Collins' 2006 poetry collection The Trouble With Poetry and Other Poems. You can read it here.
