I
write in many different locations, depending on my mood and work load, but my
favorite creative spot for most of the year is the leather recliner in my
living room. The problem is that often I need to wait for a quiet time in that
room.
But
as I sat there the other day, I looked over to where we had moved a library
table. You see, several rooms in our house are under construction, and we moved
the library table, which normally sits in a rather wide hall, and jammed it into
a corner of our living room.
There
it sat, empty of its normal decorations and doo-dads. A vast space on which to
write! I moved in a stool, and set up shop!
In
two days, I have gotten a ton of work done!
So
many would-be writers wait for that perfect place, or that perfect time to
create. They are sure, that when they finally build that log cabin in the
woods, they will write the great American novel. That’s never going to happen,
folks.
Find
a writing nook, any flat space, and start writing! The perfect space might be
right in front of you!
