skmckeeWhat was written where?
I've often wondered which stories were written where.... I recall a YouTube video of Ray typing away in what I assume to be
this house. I gather this is the Palms Springs house mentioned in
The Bradbury Chronicles?
If so, I sure hope whoever owns it now appreciates what they've got and doesn't go re-modeling everything.... (And I wish I'd had the cash....)

philnicWow, what a find, skmckee! And a snip at half a million!
Jon Eller's forthcoming book BECOMING RAY BRADBURY will tell you pretty much what was written where, up to 1953 at least; I am reading an advance review copy at the moment. (And the sequel volume will likely do the same for the remainder of RB's career.)
In general, pre-MOBY DICK, it seems RB did most of his writing at home, usually in a garage. The exception is F451, which was mostly (and famously) written in the basement of the UCLA library on rented typewriters.
Without looking in THE BRADBURY CHRONICLES, I don't recall when the Bradburys got their second home in Palm Springs, nor when he started renting separate office space in LA, but I gather this was all post-MOBY DICK.

A World War Two era bungalow, previously owned by a non-celebrity, on a lot the size of a postage stamp, will run you close to a million bucks here in Vancouver British Columbia. Really.
Anyhow, thanks for the info; shall have to check out
Becoming Ray Bradbury.
