On The Move

I always found pleasure in pursuing my writing activities in a variety of locations. My trusty pad and pen accompanied me to the library, the park, the coffee shop -and always allowed me to capture snippets of conversations or funky setting descriptions to incorporate into whatever project I was working on. I also found that something I had written in the more confined space of my office would somehow look different in another place. My best editing took place anywhere else.

Fast forward to today and I am blessed to have a laptop to help me with my work. Since so many projects are web site copy or newsletter editing, it makes more sense to tackle them on a computer. Working on several pages of text at a time really lends itself to the memory and screen of a laptop. Even without a 'hot spot' to connect me, I had copied clips from various websites into OneNote which enabled me to get some ideas from the Internet even when I wasn't connected. All this while sitting in a waiting room for several hours.

Even now I have moved to a different room to give me a fresh perspective while I try to keep my commitment of writing a weekly blog. The overstuffed couch is comfortable and with my feet up on the coffee table I am very relaxed. And that is always helpful when trying to be creative.
