Finding a quiet space

Well, my quiet space is not going to be in the bedroom as I had envisioned.  Simply no room and as a matter of fact, it wouldn't matter where in my apartment it is situated as the noise outside is unbelievable today anyway.  They are power washing the building across the street from me AND they are re-piping our building so wherever I am at the moment is noisy.  Sigh........

I now realize that I am going to have to learn how to detach from the sounds and other people in my living space if I am ever going to be able to write on a regular basis.  Thought I might be able to carve out some space in our bedroom but that is impossible.  Plus I currently use a PC which sits on a desk with all my files etc. and there is no where for it to rest in said bedroom.  Methinks I will simply wait until this one dies a final death and then I'll get a laptop like regular people in 2012.........smile. 

So for the time being, my writing will have to occur when the urge to put thoughts down comes to me.  I know that most writers (as if we are all the same eh?) have specific times that they use for their creativity but unfortunately I am not a schedule kind of gal.  More of the kind that has the urge to write and that is when I get down to it.  Now that I have said that, I realize that perhaps it is time to change the way I have always been and set some schedule in place.

My guy is retired but he does tend to go out and "wander" after we come home from the gym so that is one option, like now.  We have also now discussed his getting a headset that he can plug in to the boob tube so he can watch to his heart's content and I can have peace and quiet.  He does tend to be rather sensitive and feels that he is the reason I don't write and while it is a piece of the puzzle, it is not the entire reason.  I like my quiet time and he feels that this is in some way a dig at him.....Men!!!

I know a couple of other writers who have spoken to this issue recently - needing their quiet space to write without interruptions.  I'm sure this is a point of contention for many of us so like I said earlier, tis time to buck up and get to it.

Heading out now but will return.

Have a beautiful day full of inspiration and let that creative flow go...................

Blessings abound
