Do you have a favourite place to write?
I sit in the comfort of an armchair with my laptop, and a cup of black coffee close at hand. I may read a poem, or a chapter of a novel to get my creative juices flowing. Occasionally, I listen to classical music, but I mostly write and edit in silence.
Do you have a particular routine?
I'm not trying to be cute by saying this, but one of my favourite places to write, figuratively speaking, is in the shower. Most of my breakthroughs occur when I am not facing a monitor and simply allowing my mind to wander.
Where there is silence and a little bit of sunshine.
I need silence and to be left alone to write from scratch. My favourite place to be when I do get the chance is in the conservatory, looking down the garden to the brook at the bottom. If I'm editing I often play music, mostly classical but sometimes 60s. I need to be alone (as someone once said something very close to that!) for my imagination to run away with itself.
