Places to write become places to live.\u00a0 I like it that way.\u00a0 Even in a big house, I’ll end up in one room, in one corner with a comfortable chair,\u00a0 a small table, a light to turn up or down.\u00a0 A few old and much-loved tchotchkes here and there.\u00a0 A window is nice.<\/p>\n

I like looking at tiny houses.\u00a0 Converted sheds in the back yard draw me in. Little outbuildings turned into offices with a single bed or comfy couch in case of company. Or in case the occupant needs a nap. That’s just about perfect.<\/p>\n

It’s clear this is now a lifelong pattern.\u00a0 Whatever the size of the place, I live mostly in one room. When I’m tired of it, I go into another room.\u00a0 That’s two rooms so far.<\/p>\n

The concept of small spaces seems normal for a writer.\u00a0 Less distractions.\u00a0 It’s cozy enough to be filled with thoughts, or in the absence of them, it’ll contain the angst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
