Nice treat to go to Ecotone today and see your contribution. I think I have struggled a bit between "mythic" places and "ideal" places or personal archetypes as you describe. I don't know what the person who proposed "mythic place" would say about this distinction, and it is not important. Still, it was a hard topic to get my teeth around, so I didn't struggle with it too long.
Admittedly I may have interpreted the title in a slightly tangential way - but it was the first time I've tried "writing to order" so I was happy to grab hold of any idea that floated past!
Andy, I was delighted to find your contribution at Ecotone! And an excellent one it is. (A friend in England just sent me one of those "perfect" English-countryside calendars.) I hope you'll keep responding to the topics. Which reminds me - I still haven't written mine...like Fred, I've found this one a little hard to pin down.
