My Writing Space

Nov 2nd, 2009View Comments

Yesterday, NaNoWriMo began, and I began writing my story. I didn’t want it to be in the same location that I use for working, so I decided to create a new one. I have barely used the reading nook area, so I decided why not. It would be perfect. I could close the sliding door to have some privacy, and still be able to see what the kids were doing.

It was perfect. Being surrounded by books and sitting in a warm, red chair, made writing a cinch. I created a playlist that reflected the mood of the story and got to work. I wrote 1671 words in an hour. I thought that it would take me two. It just shows what can happen when you are in your element.

It doesn’t matter where you write or what you write on, just do it.

heh, your writing area looks very comfortable. Mine looks more like a mini office! I've opted out of NaNoWriMo this year, seeing as I'm working on way too much, as far as writing goes. I hit NaNoWriMo hard last year, and got the great start to a novel, but it exploded all over me and is going to reach way over the word goal by the time I am done. The fact that I'm still working on it, most everyday, says a lot tho. It was a great exercise that really did get my creativity pumping!

Hope to read your successful novel by the end of the month! any clues to what it's about?

This is the first year doing NaNoWriMo, so I am excited. You're right. It's a great way to get your creative juices flowing. Also, it quickly gets you into the habit of writing every day.

I am writing a love triangle that makes the person in the middle grow from it.
