My Writing Cave - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

When it's daylight, I get lovely light coming through that window, and have a view of my backyard through a pair of French doors directly in front of me.
​You may have heard a writer say they are going into their “writing cave.” Usually this means they are shutting off social media and focusing only on their work. For me, it sometimes feels literal! And that brings me to this week’s blog topic:

Where do you write? Do you need to be in the same place all the time or do you move around? Share photos if you like.

I do most of my writing in this space right here. I get up around six (which is why it is pitch dark in this photo. See what I mean about literal writing cave?) and get some work done before my husband gets up around seven-fifteen, when we have coffee together. Then I get ready for the day (yoga, shower, breakfast) and head back here.

My desk is in a corner in our living room. Behind me as I took the photo is our TV. We rarely watch television during the day, so this room isn’t used while I’m working. But the location gives me a sense of being part of the action, not sequestered away like a prisoner, which I find comforting.

When I want a change, I’ll take my laptop to a sitting area at the front of the house that gives me a different view. In the summer, I often write in our backyard, which I find very energizing. I’ve also been known to write on our boat, next to a campfire, and even while salmon fishing with a set line.

My years of working in an open-plan office while writing tv and radio commercials and writing in the evening with teenagers at home are probably responsible for my ability to work almost anywhere. Chaos often reigned around me, but I still had to get the words done, and I learned to shut it out.

Now I invite you to hop over to Jenna Da Sie to see where she writes!
