Answer: Anywhere I Can Do It

Question: Where do you do your writing?

Or, to be more specific, and in order of likelihood (and, strangely, productivity): at work; name any local cafe, and I've been there, writing; on my bed; in my car (while at a stoplight or in the precious free moments before work); at the gym; in a library study carrel; and last but not least, in my home officespace.

I've stupidly carved out a little office niche in my bedroom. Needless to say, I take lots of nap breaks. It goes without saying, too, that I'm totally unproductive at home. I don't get it. I worked from home for nearly 3 years and was impossibly disciplined. I have no idea what changed.

Wait, I know. Back then, I was getting paid to write. Quite well, actually. Even got a 401K.

Now, I'm paying tens of thousands of dollars a year to either endanger other drivers or take naps.
