The Infinity Loop of Writing So the protagonist walks straight into a trap, gets held hostage and it tied to a chair. . . Wait, does the antagonist use duct tape, zip ties or good ol’ fashioned rope? Where do they get the rope from? What is it even made of? Is it, like, braided? <googles ‘how do you make rope’> <spends an hour watching Youtube tutorials> Okay, new story. A plucky young 18th century rope-maker is scraping out a living, unaware of the threat to their livelihood from the looming Industrial Revolution. . . <googles ‘Industrial Revolution’> <orders six books on the rise of steam power> Okay, so now it’s a steampunk story. A plucky young rope-maker is kidnapped for their expertise and ironically tied to a chair with their own rope by a fat cat factory owner who wants to know why industrial-produced rope is inferior to the homespun stuff. . . And on and on until the end of recorded time. . .

In the 15th century No 8 Cathedral Close, Exeter was part of a complex of ecclesiastical buildings

The more recent door is set in a beer stone arch with carving, at the corners may be the emblem of the cathedral chancellor
