There was a time when I was told my typing made too much noise. I had a dayjob, and by evening my writing schedule had to work around someone else’s TV schedule. (The house was small and the only computer sat in the living room beside the sofa.) I did feel like Betty White without her chocolate fix. Taking away a writer’s need to write, is not a way to gain brownie points. On the bright side, my oldest son bought me my first laptop because of the first scenario. <3 Great post, Maureen.

I’m also up before the crack of dawn, pecking away on the keys . And, sometimes, I need the coffee because my character kept me up half the night, trying to tell me what comes next. Gotta do what you gotta do!

In reply to Kenzie Michaels. Over the years, I've come to appreciate the fall and winter months more just because they are a little more relaxed which = more writing time. You sound like you've got a lot on your plate. Hope you can squeeze some writing time in.

In reply to Alina K. Field. Thanks, Alina! The day job does have a way of sapping creativity at times. Fiction writing is so much more fun!

In reply to Meka James. Yes those little ones sure like to battle the muse, lol. When my twins were little I struggled to find any writing time.

Thanks, Maureen, for the entertaining post! For me, it’d be red wine and some Lay’s Potato Chips 😉

chocolate, a quiet room, glass of red wine. Where do I make my reservation? All the ones I’ve found have been padded, the food was lousy, and there as way too much work to do.
