I can pretty much be anywhere when I decide to sit down and write, but I have to be in the 'zone'.Donna Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607270459657152401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-34083835965620790332011-10-08T17:26:21.219-04:002011-10-08T17:26:21.219-04:00I like your idea of having different spaces so you...I like your idea of having different spaces so you can switch around. I carry a 'journal' around with me so if the muse hits I can drop everything and write. <br /><br />I often think that it would be nice to take a detour into the park near where I work, sit at a picnic table and just write for lunch. <br /><br />I think I'll try that this week!TMWHickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099277984216556857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876524428745638996.post-89825624882869159212011-10-08T00:16:51.403-04:002011-10-08T00:16:51.403-04:00What great insight: "Writers and many other a...What great insight: "Writers and many other artists get trapped in the interiors of their minds."<br /><br />I wish you look on this journey. I, for one, have been seriously neglecting me writing (for other, more important things, admittedly) but I miss it terribly. And wish that somehow, someway, there were more hours in a day to take the time to breath, relax, and WRITE.<br /><br />Someday.

It's a mental state, but one I can turn on and off. <br />Location probably affects me more. If I'm struggling, I just leave my office and sit with my notepad at the kitchen table or on the couch. I need a simple surrounding with no distractions!L.

It's pure magic. I currently write in bed I bought a really expensive chair that reclines but its not ideal. I redid my loft to include my office space. It's lovely and yet, I don't write here.
