My Perfect Space Is Right Here

By

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

I am happy writing right here on my couch with my family around, and my dog beside me. With all of my plants encouraging me. I don't read as much lately. I am very into audiobooks. I always have headphones on. 

I am quite proficient at tuning people out. It's when they try and talk to me that I sometimes feel frustrated. When I am hyperfocused, I hate to be interrupted. But as long as my family leaves me alone, I am happy to write with them around.

I mean, okay. A quiet peaceful room would be nice. It would have scented candles and huge windows facing the mountains. It would have a comfortable chair. However, not much is needed for me to be happy reading or writing.

I do like to have a tidy environment though. It's hard to focus in a chaotic space. I will always be thinking about the mess, knowing it needs to be cleaned up. So it's hard to be completely present in my writing or reading when there is a mess.

So, in conclusion, I guess what I need the most to engage in reading or writing is a space that has a bit of order. Where the environment around me a
Isn’t too far out of hand. And I do like people around, if they don't continually interrupt me. Which they usually don't.

Oh, one more place that is great for reading and writing, is outdoors in nature. However, I think nature is distracting because it is beautiful, and I want to see it. I want to smell it. But having people around me is not an issue. I could easily read a book on the bus, for example. And I can be inspired by whatever environment I am in. For example, what I see in the world often inspires me to write.

So this question is a little bit unrelatable to me. Because I can pretty much enjoy writing wherever I am as long as I am feeling inspired. Inspiration is all that is required. The second bonus requirement is being uninterrupted. And lastly, a tidy space helps maintain my focus.

Well, Then again. I just thought of something. I might not be able to write around people I know outside of my own family. It's a very personal experience. I can only write around my family, because I trust them entirely. Strangers are fine too because I don't know them. But I guess I'd rather not write around other people involved in my life. I would be too aware of them being there.

That's about all I have to sayregardingo today's question. Thanks for reading!🙂

    That’s sweet. I do think being content with what you have now is maybe the most important thing for a writer. We do tend to dream big but sometimes we let that steal our present.
