Emma asked Polly Holyoke:

Dear Polly Holyoke, We’re two students in the seventh grade at The Nueva School. We’re doing an article in our school magazine about where different people’s special places are, mentally or physically, when they write. So, where is your special place? Thanks so much! Sincerely, Maya and Emma 7th Grade, The Nueva School

Polly Holyoke Dear Maya and Emma,

I love to write in my little office. I have trinkets and memorabilia and pictures of my family all around me as I work. I also have lots of pets, and cats and dogs often wander by and like to sit on my lap as write. Daydreaming is also an important part of writing, and I can do that just about anywhere: the car, on walks, even at the dentist's office. Good luck with your article!
