Michele Wong’s Writing Space

I am not always aware of my space when an idea comes along. As long as I have my phone, I can write these snippets anywhere. But for that very elongated time period when editing requires a quiet space, I prefer somewhere away from too many people and near a kettle (to make tea) which would be my studio apartment. I think a Zen space not filled with too much clutter is ideal. It’s less distracting and somehow there’s more serenity. But honestly, sometimes when an idea strikes and you have your laptop in a coffee shop, you’ll buckle down and be swept away. So my writing-space comfort changes according to the situation as well as the looming urgency of an idea.
