Meta: Writespace

Tonight I set up a...something. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it an 'office'. It's a place to write.

Thus far, when I'd sat down to do *real* story work, I'd be at this computer (which is upstairs, and shared with the Significant Other - there aren't any privacy issues, really, but it does mean that I don't always have access to the machine when I'm feeling creative) or sprawled somewhere with a notebook and pen.

This has been working...more or less.

But I'm getting to the point where I have multiple overlapping stories in play, where I have *projects*. And the need to keep putting up shorter stories here on something vaguely resembling a regular schedule (still working on this part). I needed to standardize.

So, tonight I snuck down to the basement that we rarely use (cluttered with Things) and set up a folding table & spare kitchen chair in the back corner. Fortunately our basement does not flood, as the heavens have been pouring down upon us this week. I have candles, and a little fridge for sodas, and I'm going to invest in a cheapass electric teapot so I can have tea. And notebooks, pens, adequate lighting.

Nothing formal, nothing worth any title more grandiose than 'nook'. But I got three or four pages done after all the setting-up-of-furniture, so things are looking good.

If you write, tell me, where do you write? Laptop in an internet cafe'? Desktop in the home office? Quill pen on vellum? I'm curious.
