As for indoor writing, I like to be at ground level, near a window, ideally with a door to the outdoors not too far away. Of course, this isn’t always possible. The space I create or gravitate toward for writing tends to be more like a small simple living room than a typical office. I like a comfortable chair or sofa with a side table for books and a coffee table to rest my feet on. I write in a sketchbook or on a clipboard on my lap. I generally spend time at a desk only when I’m revising and developing work. It’s true that I spend hours, whole days, at a desk, at a computer doing just that. But I usually make my first sketches away from the desk.
