I don't have a wife.

Today's quote is by Burton Rascoe.
What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window.
Alright, I don't have a wife... and I don't ever plan to have one. However, I can relate to this quote. There have been so many instances in my life where I've been scolded by a teacher or my mother for daydreaming instead of doing something "productive." If one isn't a writer, he simply cannot understand the importance of just sitting and thinking.
Have you ever been caught daydreaming when you were supposed to be working or paying attention?

Definitely yes. I'm caught daydreaming way too much. It's especially embarrassing when the teacher asks a question and I don't know the answer because I wasn't following the class.
