Romance Writers Weekly ~ Where do you work? ~ #LoveChatWrite

 This week, on the Romance Writers Weekly blog hop, we're asked, "Where do you write? Do you need to be in the same place all the time or do you move around? Share photos if you like."

I'm a creature of habit. I'm not neat (one of the great understatements of the millennium, unfortunately) but I don't like having my stuff messed with. So, I generally work at my desk. On my desktop computer. With everything exactly the same, other than the ever changing amount of clutter. And whenever I change something-- computers, keyboards, mouses, calendar pages, desktop screensavers, or basically ANYTHING at all within the room, it throws me off my stride. Which is unfortunate since I am currently sharing this office with my husband.Ask me how well that's not going. 

OTOH, there are times when I have to write in longhand to get my muse up and running, and I can only do that at my dining room table, because my desk is too crowded. Or at a coffee shop, or other remote location. 

And OTOH again (which is far too many hands, but who cares?) I do a fair amount of traveling and an entirely unfair amount of moving, so...I have a (now, sadly outdated) laptop for those not-rare-enough-IMO occasions when I have to be away from home but still want/have to write. Which is basically all the time.

Now, hop on over to Leslie Hachtel's page to find out where she writes. And don't forget to check out her book, Follow Me.

Giada Mazzi is Living her Best Life

 

life is more than just the lies we try and tell ourselves about what we’ve done and who we are.

​

 I guess the truth is that I never stopped loving Ben. And I never stopped imagining how different my life might have been if he were only the person I needed him to be, instead of the person that he is. Which is silly, right? I mean, truly; it’s laughable. Because if he were someone else, he wouldn’t be him.  And the world is already full of people like that. What good is one more gonna do me?

​

Besides, if I’m honest, Ben wasn’t ever the problem. That was me. I was never the person he believed me to be. Oh, I thought I was, in the beginning. I tried hard to be, and that worked for a while. Sort of. But eventually I reached the point where I had to make a choice between living life for myself, or for everyone else.

​

And when it came right down to that…how could I not choose me?
