Writers can write anywhere--right?
If
you're really creative, you don't need a specific space, a writing
room, or even a desk of your own. With our iPads and smart phones and
laptops, our writing can be truly portable.
We don't need to worry about finding a special spot to grow our books.
Right? For me . . . Wrong.
Maybe
when we're dabbling, maybe when we're still in the exploring phase, we
can disregard the idea of having a "room of one's own," as Virginia
Woolf famously said.
But like the difference between a date and
a marriage, books are a long-term commitment to your creativity, and
they will thrive if we give them a sacred space to grow. This is
something I've known for a long time, but I had to relearn it recently.
