I'm part of a goals group and last week I challenged them to a series of writing related blog posts, once a week in a version of our own, 'How I Write'. This week, we're going to be discussing our writing caves.
I don't really have a cave per se. Maybe one day I will, but for the moment, there's no point. I live alone (well, except for the trouble twosome), so the most distraction I get is either the cats being bad. Once a week, if everyone's able, I do go out to a coffee shop on Sundays to meet some writerly-friends I'd met during NaNoWriMo, but for the most part, my writing cave consists
of a couch. lol.
A few weeks ago, however, I gave in to the urge and purchased a computer chair. I write at the table when it's not being occupied. Mackenzie has taken a like to it and if I'm there so that she can't, she is constantly at me to play with her. I guess she can't get settled elsewhere so she figures since she's up, she might as well bother me. lol.
For the most part though, the couch is where I plot and write. It may not be professional looking, but it's comfy. The tv doesn't bother me too much. I need background noise to write, so it's just a bonus.

Your writing area looks like the perfect breeding ground for muse crack.
ReplyDeleteI think MacKenzie is trying to coax you out of her chair so she can get in it.
Looks like someone has already staked a claim on your chair!
ReplyDeleteAnd, to my way of thinking (and writing,) comfy is more important than professional when it comes to a good writing space!
Nice couch! I get tired of sitting in my desk chair after so long, which is why I gravitate to my recliner. Comfort is important if you want the words to flow!
ReplyDeleteI love your writing cave. I have a chair but it's not that comfortable so I usually end up writing and sitting on my couch or bed or with one of the chairs in the living room.
