When I write, I can be anywhere I want. In fact, I can do anything I want while writing too. The only trick is to be completely engaged in where I am or what I’m doing, and still produce good work. I’m currently freelancing (independently contracted, as some know it) and it’s the best! Here’s why:
I can write:
- on the couch,
- while drinking Milo,
- watching TV or series,
- in bed,
- at the pool,
- eating cereal,
- in a bikini,
- under a blanket,
- outside,
- inside,
- on the floor,
- with a pencil or by typing,
- listening to music,
- any time I want,
- tomorrow,
- at the kitchen counter,
- in a restaurant,
- and send texts without getting in trouble,
- and Facebook or Tweet,
- in the bathroom,
- and read a novel simultaneously,
- for the price I want,
- only the projects I choose to write for,
- at midnight,
- and hang out with friends,
- in my own style,
- with a Mexican hat on,
- at the piano,
- with my eyes closed (I’m that good),
- munching on chips,
- by candlelight,
- poetry,
- as much as I want,
- as little as I want,
- in the rain,
- in my car,
- in parking lots,
- eating ice cream,
- backwards,
- upside-down,
- drinking wine (clients don’t have to know),
- however/wherever/whenever I want.
Where, when, how do you write?
