Creative Spaces



I am delighted to have been asked by Jennifer Bertman to be part of her Creative Spaces.  Jennifer has a wonderful blog, which I find visually stunning.  You can find her at www.writerjenn.blogspot.com.  I'm the interview for January 10th, 2011.  What a lovely way to begin the New Year.

I think the space in which we live and work is very important.  Beauty begets beauty.  That's why I feel so lucky to have a beautiful space to work and a beautiful garden to look out on.

Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler suggests finding a place and objects where you go and engage with only when you're writing fiction.  It's a way to help writers get into the zone.  Good idea, I think.  But he cautions that if you're traveling or somewhere else that doesn't excuse you from writing every day (with maybe one day off.)

So here's my creative space, my writing room.  Thank you, Jennifer, for coming to visit.

Quite an interesting article! I have a great space in which I write, but this has given me new ideas!
