katiefooleryPlease let me introduce you all to my new workspace, viz:
Yes, it is a) outside, b) sharing space with a spade and broom, and c) awesome. And that lovely little EeePC there answers the question of whether I switched my laptop for a netbook quite nicely. I haven't regretted that for a minute - it's even been inadvertently useful for my vlogging, due to its possessing a (completely rubbish) webcam. My intention was to buy an Acer Aspire One... but the ten inch screen of the EeePC kept calling to me, telling me how... big it was.
Well, ten inches is big when compared with eight point nine...
What innuendo?
I like being outside. I like having my own space. I like being able to sit there in that incredibly ugly yet unbelievably comfortable chair and think.
Oh, and write, maybe.
And I definitely like the bit where I receive an excellent wireless signal from my router. That's important.
I feel as though I can write out there - as though I have enough space to be creative. It's a different story inside, where I'm sharing space with noise and televisions and people. Which I don't really mind, per se, but that environment doesn't seem to be very conducive to creativity. Sometimes, I wish I were able to write anywhere, but it turns out I can be incredibly picky about my surroundings.
So, before I go off to work on my next vlog, I'm going to ask you all a question: Can you write anywhere? Do you have a place where your writing just seems to flow effortlessly? Conversely, are there places where you just can't write, no matter how hard you try?
Yes, one question in three parts.
brb, vlogging

on 2009-01-14 04:33 am (UTC)I can write in bed when it's about 2am-4am because that's when my creative sparks. Yes, it sparks while I am trying to sleep and then I'm like, "must...write down... ideaaaa... bleghfefhewnfkj. " haha. I'm better at typing it all out, because it's easier to go back and correct something, or just get rid of the whole thing. And I can type and type and type for a long time unlike when I'm writing out my chapters. I can't write when people are around. I try, but I get nervous that they will look and make fun of me. Even if the person is like 10 feet away, I just feel weird.

on 2009-01-14 08:26 am (UTC)There's something about the very early morning and creativity. I've lost track of the number of times I haven't been able to sleep because a story was plaguing me. And they just don't go away until you get up and write them.
I feel weird when people are around and I'm writing, too. I'm never sure why - maybe it's because I feel very exposed when I'm writing. Or as though I'm doing something stupid and they'll point it out. That's why I like my new writing space - because no-one can sneak up on me and I'm pretty much guaranteed my solitude, should I want it.
