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

I’m self-employed as a full-time writer, so I can work wherever I can sit down with my laptop.  I often divide my workday between writing at home and writing in coffee shops.  I’m a caffeine nomad, and will frequently spend a couple of hours at a Starbucks then move to the coffee shop in a bookstore, then go back home. Breaking up the day refreshes my mind and gives me time to think. My office at home is crammed with all sorts of oddities, including a bobble-head statue of Edgar Allen Poe, a genuine cat skull, a rubber brain, a bottle of Holy Water and another of garlic; gargoyles, various rubber ducks (I have a mummy, vampire, zombie, and mad scientist), a carved crystal alien head, zombie finger puppets, my Bram Stoker Awards, a statue of Shaun of the Dead, wind-up robots, lots of action figures of super heroes, and a Malaysian good-luck bat.Being inside my office is a bit like being inside my head. Fun, a little spooky, and cluttered with interesting curios.
