“A woman must have a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” ― Virginia Woolf

I used to write novels on my lap or at the kitchen table. Stephen King wrote Carrie in the laundry room of his trailer. I’m sure many writers write in much crazier conditions. But, I’ve found it an undeniable fact (especially after having my dear son) that to have a room of one’s own in which to write is a blessed thing indeed.
