Where Do You Write?

August 8, 2016 by Deb

Back from the UFVA Conference, it’s time for me to get back to writing! But rather than talk about my works-in-progress today (there are two of them), let me ask you:

Where do you write?

When I was single, writing was hard to schedule around life, but I had a dedicated desk at home for the job… then I had a family and wow! it’s HARD to schedule writing around life!! Consequently, I find I’m not writing in one designated place anymore. I’ve written on desk, table and lap – wherever and whenever I can, including:

  • At coffee shops (of course… hasn’t every writer?)
  • On the train (thank you, thank you for those excellent tables and plug-ins on the train!)
  • Backstage at the theatre (waiting for dance class to finish)
  • On a boat (fine, until the seas get lumpy)
  • On a plane and in a hotel room (more, classic out-of-the-house locations)
  • On the patio (trying to enjoy the good weather, but it’s too bright for the screen)
  • And, at home (the family made me a “Busy Writing” sign, thank you very much!)

bzywriWhat about you? A designated spot, or wherever you can?

Cheers & productive writing to you,
Deb
