Location, location, location: it can make all the difference in the world. For writers, finding the right place to work can help inspire ideas — or it can completely derail the creation process. Just take a look at Bruce Blake’s challenges.
We’re continuing to share photos and descriptions of where BestSelling Reads member authors craft the stories you love to read.
Do you have a room or space to yourself in your home where you can shut out the world and be who you truly want to be?
I have the study area of my house where I get inspired to write in this private space. It’s the area I occupy to jot down ideas, create a story outline, develop character profiles and do story research. I edit my work, share my drafts and completed works with editors via email, and work diligently to market and promote my books.
The study space is where the magic happens. It’s my own world away from the world, and it keeps me sane when I’m having a bad day.
Writing for me is like meditation and creation. It’s my passion to develop new story worlds and to entertain, inspire others, and offer that much-needed escape in this crazy world. I feel truly at home in the study as I can immerse myself into worlds full of strange possibilities.
My writing space/study was renovated from when we first bought our house many years prior. Initially we had a stand-alone timber desk, but then decided to create a unified desk, joining three laminated pieces together to create a full piece that curves into a semi-circular shape to give me added space.
I feel truly at home in this study area, and will continue to create more magic in my stories.
