Where I Write – A Look At My Workspaces
I thought I’d share something about my writing life today. I’ve always had laptops, ever since I used my good ol’ second generation iMac to death. Now, I’m an Apple girl with all the iDevices, mainly because I grew up with Apple computers, from the Apple IIe to a Performa 450 with a 800 baud modem in high school. I briefly had a dalliance with a PC in college but got dumped it as soon as the iMac came out. I’ve gone through several Powerbooks and MacBooks, and now I have a MacBook Air. Having a portable computer is really important to me. We have a small house, a ranch, only one floor (I like it that way) but this means I do not have a writing space of my own. With two kids and a husband that works from home on occasion, I have to be flexible, so I’ve become a writing nomad. I take my computer wherever I can to get the words in.
The main place I write is at the dining room table. I keep it as clean as I can, which is much cleaner during the summer than during the school year, and start every day in this spot.
In the evenings, I move to the couch and write or work here. It’s a comfortable couch and I always sit in the same spot.
On the weekends when the house is full, I often write in my bedroom on the bed. This is not as comfortable as the couch, but it does the trick! Especially since I can lock the door.
