Part of The Writer’s Life Series
When I first started writing, it was at my desk, usually in class, while ignoring my teachers. Over the years my writing space evolved to a real desk in my room, then it migrated to the dining room table after I got my own apartment, and eventually a home office. I’ve written on the living room sofa, in a coffee shop, and even airports and hotel rooms.
This past year my husband and I have been remodeling the house, and part of that includes building out the upstairs bonus room to be my office and writing space. After a decade as “an author,” I finally get to design that dream office I always wanted.
Having a dedicated writing space is important, because it triggers our brain that it’s time to write” whenever we go there. It helps us build solid writing habits and routines, and those habits will get us through the days when the writing is hard and the ideas aren’t coming.
