Fiction Writing - What is your Writing Space?

Dear potential author,

Finding space to write is very important.  Don't make the mistake of changing your writing space often.  By having a fixed writing space your are conditioning yourself to know that when you are in your writing space it is time to get busy.

A writing space can be something as simple as the back of a tray with an A4 notepad.  By now I can see quite a few brows arch.  Let me explain.  There is a difference between your writing space and environment.  You can write anywhere you please but what you write with must be consistent.

If you find that you flow when you have a pencil and A4 note pad.  Use that.  I find that my writing flows the best if I use this.  If you flow using a computer, then use that.  For some it might be small post its.

Do a simple test.  Sit in front of your PC/laptop.  Write something.  Note how you feel.  Then write something on a piece of paper.  Note how that feels.  What you are comfortable with the most will be the best writing space for you.

Feeling comfortable when you write should be top priority and not influenced by your environment unless you are in serious editing mode.

Until we meet again,


Just Write
