First of all, how do you like the slightly new look? Personally, I like it so far and look forward to touching up the header/footer a bit to make it a little more polished.
As some of you may know, right now I’m sitting in a hotel room in a suburb of Madison, WI. My wife is here for business reasons over the next days and it was a good time to bring Audrey. Last night as I was sitting in the hotel room, it occurred to me that I actually enjoy these moments in a creative sense. Separated from the comforts of home and only having a modicum of my own items here, it does wonderful things for the creative juices.
But this has always been the case for me. When stripped down to the bare essentials, I’ve not only made sure that one of the things I bring is something to write with, be it pen and paper or my laptop, but I’ve easily found time to do some interesting creative writing. In fact, it is much easier for me to write in unfamiliar places that to do otherwise.
I’ve been busy today outside of doing some writing. Between taking care of Audrey, doing some very necessary shopping and taking some moments to read, I’ve been able to jot down some things today. Which is great because if I were at home, I’d probably have nothing more than the random thoughts in my head that are never acted upon.
Perhaps someday I will build or buy the perfect writing enclave for me. It will have windows, a sturdy desk, a comfy chair, a music player, dictionary, thesaurus, pen jar, legal paper pads, and a place to plug in my laptop. That should be about it. Till then, I should try to fake that environment somewhere, but may not get the chance until we actually buy our house.
