Where can you write?

by Mark Rudd
3rd March 2012

Note that is a distinct question to 'where DO you write', which has been asked before.

My prompt being, my mother has just called upstairs (I am living at home until I complete my degree, symptomatic of the writer) to say "Dinner's ready!"

And I have replied, in a moment of utter mental abstraction, "OK, bye."

Go figure!

The point being, does anyone else, like me, have a mental level they can slip into, anytime, anywhere? Or does it have to be in the tool shed with a cup of tea and a candle? I can write at work, in the car, in the bath, almost anywhere. But I wonder if some writers can't?

Haha thats one of my favourite parts of the film. *Cough* but more importantly, I am sure most people passionate about writing have their 'mental special place' if we didnt our books would never get written! Unfortunately my 'mental special place' follows me most places. The other day my sister was shouting my name across the street for ages but I was too busy thinking about my book :)

I will probably end up doing so this week. Like when Neo meets the Oracle in the Matrix and she tells him not to worry about the vase...
