In The Bedroom

I'm finding I do my best work in the bedroom.  Now before your mind wanders into the gutter, I'm talking about my writing. 

I usually surf the web, tweet and dawdle on the internet in the living room.  I have a separate desktop in my home office for graphics and web design.  I usually read in the bedroom.  Apparently, reading and writing go hand and hand for me.  In the bedroom, I shut off the wireless internet on the laptop.  Yes, I know I can turn it back on, but it sucks the life out of my battery.  So does having more than one window open. 

I can get about three solid hours out of my battery, if I only have my manuscript open in Microsoft Word.  Three hours of non-stop writing, then I'm ready for a break while I charge my laptop.

Bottom line to this blog entry...if you're having trouble writing, move.  Change rooms.  Go outside, take a ride, just move.  Even if it means grabbing a pen and a notebook.  The change of location can spark new ideas.  If you think I'm alone in this thought, check out this weeks NaNoWriMo video.  I watched it after I wrote the draft of this blog. 

Speaking of ideas, I need to get back to writing...in the bedroom.
