A writer’s habitat is where we do most of our writing. Where do you feel most comfortable to let your inspiration flow? It’s not often that we writers talk about one of our favorite places.
Where your favorite writing supplies are set out. The ideal temperature, the ideal level of comfort. The laptop or notebook you hold most dear to rely on to complete the process of retrieving a world of people, places and events out of your head.
For me, I have two ideal locations in our home.
My most comfortable is the couch in my reclined seat with my feet up, laptop stand on my lap, notes at an arms reach, husband sitting next to me, a dog on either side (lol), my favorite headphones, some metal step music playing (Needs to be music without words or quiet), a glass of water, a blanket, my glasses and I’m set for hours of writing.
Or my secondary location is my desk (which technically can be where I’m also the most productive), everything is the same minus the need for a laptop stand, the ability to have my husband or the dogs next to me but they are usually in the same room still, and I have a foot rest under my desk.
I’ve just adapted to that set up to help me be the most productive. Not all writers use the same supplies or materials. There are those who use strictly paper and pen (or pencil). Some who use typewriters providing almost a nostalgic feel. Most of us use a laptop.
Habitat or not, I tend to still write in my head, I’m just most productive in the right setting. As I’ve said many times before I’ve written on my cell phone, in notebooks or even on napkins just to remember an important detail or idea. You don’t have to have a special place where you write but you do have a place or many where you know you can be productive.
The world may see writers in a certain way but we are all unique in how we write. We all have our own style. Don’t be afraid to be you. You don’t have to have a certain set up in your home, that’s similar to other writers. Just be you, you will write the best when you are the most comfortable.
