Can you picture it? That perfect writing place?
A window overlooking nature (forest or beach), an ergonomically comfortable desk chair, a keyboard at just the right height, reference books and inspiring objects all within arm’s reach, but breathing space on the desk so as not to clutter the mind, and wall space that’s either a white board for you to work out story problems like a fresco painter, or cork board with ample space to tack up movable notes and inspiring pictures… happy sigh. While we’re dreaming, how about a servant to bring you a cuppa tea or coffee when you need it?
Dreams indeed.
Ever seen the haphazardness of Nature? Perfection of writing space is not necessary. Grab a notebook or tablet and go sit in a new place: a living room chair, the back seat of a car, the deck of a sailboat, wherever. Now write. Journal stuff. Anything. Go!
See? It’s possible!
What’s the perfect writing space you have to let go of?
Cheers… with a little INK,

After many years writing to deadline, it’s not the space it’s feeling that looming end point that gets me writing then I write wherever! What about you Deb? your favourite space?
Favourite space vs perfect space, yes. I think I’m still working on a favourite. I keep looking for the perfect one (hence the posting) but am never totally satisfied with it. Though I admit that when the writing flows, the space around me (wherever it is) just melts away… and I love that.
