Write Place, Write Time

If you look at anything long enough, say just that wall in front of you -- it will come out of that wall.
- Anton Chekhov

This is my General Mayhem Battle Station, housed in my friend Josh’s office. (That’s Josh.) I come here to write. (And look at pictures of kittens on the internet.)

       

It is the coolest loft space - we have yoga balls and a Street Fighter II arcade game and PBR. (I would live here if I could.)

     

Having a place to write outside of my house has been extremely beneficial. At home I would think, “Oh, I have to write that thing now,” and then pick up a book and curl up on my bed. Actually leaving my house to write makes me feel like a grown up, makes it feel official. I AM WRITING!

     

My desk chair is super-squishy, and I have found that spinning around in it really fast helps me think when I am stuck. And if I get bored, I have lots of cords to chew on. The photo on the wall is of Tom Waits, holding a can of Budweiser.

      

My laptop is the size of an airplane hanger - I’ve never seen another laptop as big as this. First thing I do when I get something is decorate it with things I love. That’s a picture of Jeff Tweedy of Wilco. I would take a bullet for Jeff Tweedy. (But I’d prefer not to.)

When Liberty was little, she wanted to change her name to something people wouldn’t remark on all the time. (Topping the list of alternative names was ‘Wolfgang’.) At one time or another, she has broken her arm, her nose (twice), knocked out a front tooth and fractured her pelvis. Liberty currently sits at the switchboard in the Write Place, Write Time secret volcano lair, prowls behind the counters at RiverRun Bookstore and The Music Hall, and is the creative consultant for a video game development company. Someday, she’s going to marry @bookavore.
