Terry Watada’s Writing Space

Writing Spaces

I’m too embarrassed to send a photo or a video. The space is too messy.

I love that it’s in the basement office (created by former house owners). It’s away from family activity, yet not so isolated, since just up the stairs is the kitchen (for the coffee) and there is a second bathroom.

The space is large enough to house a major part of my CD collection. I also have my vinyl collection a few steps away. I’ve been collecting since the 1960s. I can’t stop! I love the music of my youth (who doesn’t?) so I keep it close to me and play it all the time. It is not a distraction when I write.

My favourite bands include: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, the Byrds, the Animals and about a dozen others. I am over-the-moon with my fresh copy of the Beatles “White Album, 50th anniversary edition”. I know 50 years!

Tips and tricks? Write something everyday (even weekends). You will be amazed how much accumulates after a few weeks, months, a year. Take breaks too.
