Find YOUR writing space

Its always a joke at my house that I can write anywhere. That's not necessarily..I do carry a notebook at all times, known to write even on napkins..but I'm one that can't have noise around. A radio is one thing but otherwise I like the quiet. I tell everyone to sit down with your paper, tablet, whatever you use, and...just sit there. If a noise distracts you..GET UP!! I do. I have a wonderful big desk that fills a corner but rarely use it. My spot is actually stretched out on my bed, like a teenager. 

Another, is your body comfortable? No? Then..Get UP! If I have even an inch I'm distracted. The bed or this one area on my couch is my spot. But Murphy's Law always interferes...lol I can sit down to the quiet and BAM... the sounds begin.  A neighbor that constantly mows..you the ones, 3-4 times a week. or the dog decides to take an hour to dig..on linoleum floor. Or he walks back and forth..click, click, click...

You can't write if you're not in what i call "my writing space". If you want to write, find that space before all else. Then the words can begin...
