At the desk: rob mclennan (Open Book: Ontario,

I recently participated in the Open Book: Ontario series "At the desk," where I write about my little writing space in our house on Alta Vista Drive, as well as a variety of my office tokens, the mounds of paper and books, and the places in which I used to write, before the invention of Rose. The process made me curious to see what else I'd written in other stock-taking essays, turning to my "What are you working on right now?" piece for Johnathan Ball in September 2012, and my two prior pieces in Open Book: Ontario's variety of series: "The Dirty Dozen" from June 2012 and "The Proust Questionnaire" from August 2010. See how far I've come!
