30 Days of Writing Questions - Day 6

6. Where are you most comfortable writing?

At what time of day?

Computer or good ol' pen and paper?

I write best at my desk because I hate writing out a story with pen and paper. My thoughts just move way faster then I can write, faster than I can type sometimes too, but at least I have a chance of catching up with typing. However, I like to use pen and paper -- usually a notebook so I can keep it all together -- to take research notes, draw maps, characters, and do general world building. I don't like to use a notebook at my desk for strange reasons that I'm not sure about, but any table is great for it. I always have a notebook in my purse so I can take notes wherever I am when an idea comes to me.

As for time of day, I tend to write at night because the daytime is usually used for work, taking care of or playing with my nieces and nephews, doctor appointments, things like that. However I tried writing on saturday afternoons and evenings in november and that worked pretty well, so I might to back to writing mostly on weekends just to start with. We'll see.

And now I will leave you with a photo of three of my current (and most beloved) writing notebooks for the Destiverse:

Left to right: My translation book for the Illisharian language,

my book about all things Illishar including history, rulers, and religion,

and my book on the history and culture of the kingdom/provence of Zanchin.
