Talking about space and routine is kind of like asking what makes the sea come in and out. There’s something about telling me that the moon’s pull that causes the sea levels to change that takes the magic out of writing. And it truly is a magical experience. My routine is: I never realize that I’m writing until it’s done. It’s almost like the siren’s call that causes me to write. I could write for ten minutes, ten hours or even a full day and not realize that the world has passed me by. I write every day, it’s just never the same thing. I write on Twitter, I write about my cats, I write long emails, I write blogs, I write because I can’t “not write”.
My writing space is here. In the moment and now. I write wherever I am. I feel comfortable writing in the middle of chaos or at home where two cats vy for my attention. I’ve written cross legged in the middle of the floor at a convention. I’ve written sitting on a rock by the ocean. One of my current favorite audio drama scripts I wrote in the middle of a large thanksgiving dinner. My space is my laptop and a warm cat. I get teased often that my laptop is glued to my body, but is an extension of my being. It doesn’t have to be my own laptop, though the words start easier on my own. It’s been a close friend for years and it knows all of my secrets. One of my co-workers once told a fellow co-worker, “all your problems today have been solved by God, a computer and Tabz.” And really, that’s what it’s all about.
