I've found that it's much easier for me to write away from home. Coffee shops, a rental cabin, even a hospital waiting room (don't ask) seem to work better for me than my home.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized I've never really set up a place to write at home. My studio is very illustration oriented and full of client-work vibes. The living room is too close to the T.V. And the rest of the house is full of to-do list items calling my name. What's a goil to do?
Well, I'm stealing a room. We have a sitting room off the master bedroom that hasn't been more than a storage room for a few years, and I just slapped my name on it.
I'd love to hear from other writers what you feel is absolutely essential for your writing space. I've got a super comfy chair on the way, but what else? What can't you live without when you write?
