My office is my sanctuary. It is generally acknowledged in my household that my writing space is the coolest room in the house. It has all my distractions – reading and music and guitars – which are necessary to my writing process. I am not one of those writers who is able to focus on their project for long stretches of time. When I am working my way through a piece, I often turn to music or the works of other authors for sources of inspiration. I never pick up one of my guitars because then I am just avoiding the task.
