The Author's View: Inside/Outside

Thanks for hosting me on My World of Dreams! An interesting question was posed for the post: To describe my writing space. And here’s the thing. I used to believe I needed a “set” writing space. Somewhere quiet and filled with music or photos/images of my heros and heroines, setting, etc. However, as life goes, quiet is hard to find, time to sit and contemplate/dream/create in my space hard to manage. Why, I need a full hour or two to actually make use of the writing space. But, wait, I only have fifteen minutes!

So, I had to adjust my thoughts of my writing space.

Stephen King in On Writing relates his experience writing Cujo. He balanced a card table on his knees in a trailer. And the guy is tall. Doesn’t sound comfortable or great for inspiration. :-) So…the idea of the writing space is wonderful, however, I think it’s a creative challenge to flex those muscles and write in: Starbucks, for ten minutes at the table as your toddler is eating dinner, in between loads of laundry with the laptop on the kitchen counter. I have a Mac Air, the most conducive computer ever made for writing on the fly. It literally weighs little more than a feather.

So, it may be crazy, but I’ve actually done away with the writing space. :-) I’m an A personality, mom, graphic designer. I write on the fly!

Happy reading! Let me know what YOU think is the perfect writing space.

And, enjoy the book video:

About the Author>:

Tracy’s story telling career began when she picked up a copy of LaVyrle Spencer’s Vows on a college beach trip. A journalism degree and a thousand romance novels later, she decided to try her hand at writing a southern version of the perfect love story. With a great deal of luck and more than a bit of perseverance, she sold her first novel to Kensington Publishing.

When not writing sensual stories featuring complex characters and lush settings, Tracy can be found reading romance, snowboarding, watching college football and figuring out how she can get to 100 countries before she kicks (which is a more difficult endeavor than it used to be with her four-year-old son in tow). After stops in France, Switzerland and Taiwan, she now lives in the south. However, after spending a few years in “the city”, she considers herself a New Yorker at heart.

Tracy has been awarded the National Reader’s Choice, the Write Touch and the Beacon – with finalist nominations in the HOLT Medallion, Heart of Romance, Rising Stars and Reader’s Choice. Her books have been translated into German, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish. She loves hearing from readers about why she tends to pit her hero and heroine against each other and that great novel she simply must order in five seconds on her Kindle.
