Hey everyone! So one of the questions I get asked a lot, is
whatβs my writing space like.
And the simplest answer is EVER-CHANGING!
Iβm most definitely a creature of habitβ¦ until Iβm not lol. For
instance, I might move from my office desk to my office couch to the comfy chair in the living
room to my bedroom, getting huffy at every stop until I find that spot that clicks and I finally
drop into THE ZONE.
I know. This sounds ridiculous, but itβs just how it goes.
And once I figure out the spot that worksβ¦ Β Iβll ride it into the
ground lol. Iβll go back to writing in my bed or at my desk while sitting on a yoga ball every day
for as long as it triggers that free flow of flirty, sexy storytelling that is so much fun! This
week, Iβm all about the desk and the rolling, spinny chair lol.
One thing that doesnβt change? All the crap I tote along with
me lol.
Soundproof headphones (regardless of whether the house is
silent or not)
Two, yes two mugs of gorgeous assorted pens and
highlighters
My project specific spiral notebook (it needs to be attractive
and sturdy, because it goes EVERYWHERE with me and sometimes, I just like looking at the
cover)
My ginormous planner (So I can check off progress goals
and feel super productive, even if one of the goals is ACTUALLY OPENING my word document
lol)
Phone charger and stand (otherwise I worry about my
charge status and what if the kids need to get a hold of me, or Mr. Kelly wants to take me out
for a lunch date!)
Sticky notes in assorted shapes and colors (I think the pink
hearts are the best)
Chapstick (Cherry, of course)
Coffee, Diet Coke and Water (You need to be prepared for
what youβre going to want a sip of)
And my bookmark with the gratuitous abs and low slung
jeans actionβ¦ because I canβt rely on where Iβm working for all the mojo lol!
And one thing that absolutely DOESNβT matter to me, is how
messy my surroundings get. I know⦠Mira is Pig-Pen!! The thing is, when I do drop into that
ZONE of happy writing magic, pretty much everything else drops away. And thatβs the way I
want it! I LIKE and kind of NEED to get so absorbed in the story Iβm telling, that the dogs
dragging every squeaky, bone, and tug onto my office floor doesnβt phase me. The way I
figure it, the precarious stack of Uncommon Goods catalogs and Cooks Illustrated magazines
can wait until I turn in my book and my brain frees up enough to actually make reasonable
decisions about real life stuff.
Sadly, Iβve reached that pointβ¦ and itβs time to face the hovel
that is my cluttered office space lol. Iβve got some work cut out for me!!

I totally understand the "disaster area" type of working. I don't write, but when I
am working on projects or organizing things, it usually looks like a tornado hit. You
can't sort things and organize them without spreading them out all over. I always
end up making a much bigger mess before things are the way they should be. I
firmly believe the end result is worth the mess.

I'm always amazed when I enter a friend's house and see how neat and spotless everything is. I guess you can say my home is well lived in.
