My Writing Space is My Little Slice of Heaven
This is my response to New Writers Welcome June Prompt Challenge.
My daily writing routine begins when I wake up.
I have a set morning routine that I try to follow every morning. Doing so keeps me productive and focused.
I wake up, eat my breakfast, then work out.
Getting my blood flowing is a great boost of endorphins and wakes me up slowly and mindfully.
Then I settle in and get to work.
Writing sessions come equipped with a notebook, pen, noise-canceling headphones, and my computer.
I start my sessions by popping in my headphones and doing some work to brainstorm and outline what I’m going to write for the day.
Some days I struggle with ideas, so I allow myself twenty minutes of free writing to get my head in the game. That writing time lets me brain dump and get everything out on the page before I organize it.
In the beginning, I wrote at my desk. Cluttered as it may have been, using headphones and starting a timer were all I needed to zone in.
As I built the habit, I started writing on my bed because it was more comfortable.
Generally, my workspace has always been relatively clear.
My phone is turned off, either in a drawer or upside down. I have my notebooks open to take notes on research and outlining.
By now, I’ve built a solid muscle that I can write just about anywhere.
I recently took a leap of faith and started traveling, so my writing space varies every day.
I’m lucky enough to be able to call wherever I am my writing home.
There are some things I like to stay consistent. I keep windows out of view so I’m not distracted by the outside world. I like to find nooks and crannies where I can settle in and write.
The best writing spaces are well lit, cozy, and accompanied by furry friends.
It makes for a serene writing experience that I get to enjoy every morning.
