In my current world, with four small children, I find small pockets of time to write when my two oldest are at school and the other two are asleep.<br /> Really, with a newborn and a two year old, finding any time to write is a major accomplishment, but I am trying to make it work. <br /> In my perfect world, I would write in a yellow wing back chair in the library of my Victorian home. In reality, today I found myself lying on the floor so I could keep an eye on the baby while I worked. <br /> I remember reading an article about Jodi Piccoult, one of my favorite authors, who also is a mother. She described writing in the car while she was waiting to pick up her kids, at the doctors office, etc. She was able to make writing fit into her work as a Mom and I really admired her for that.Christine DiNovis Leonardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057252536636503133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119810304952163670.post-83291608944791039822012-03-01T18:55:52.385-05:002012-03-01T18:55:52.385-05:00I'm kind of the opposite, I would rather write...I'm kind of the opposite, I would rather write in a small, cluttered space like my bedroom. Or my deck at my parents house. Large open spaces literally space me out, I'd rather have my thoughts be able to bounce off walls that aren't too far apart, like a pinball machine. I do really enjoy writing on my bed, in some weird crouched position. I do all my homework/reading on my bed and it seems to be a place where my thoughts can flow easily. Plus, I really like sitting with my legs crossed which is difficult to do on a chair because they are too long! I'm now realizing, on my way home from Philadelphia, that I don't like writing on trains. I should have figured that with my extensive history of car-sickness. As for when, it's whenever I have free time, which is more than you would expect for a college student. When I get started on a project, I can stay pretty committed to it and write often. But sometimes my writings tend to be spaced out because I get so preoccupied by other things in-between. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
