Where do I write? I'll tell you.

     I have heard that question a few times so I decided to finally answer it. Some authors write in a home office. I have one. I don't write there. It feels too much like work in that room. Some authors write in a coffee shop. I've tried that too, but I'm a big people watcher and that's just too distracting for me. So where do I write?
     The dining room is a good place-- sometimes. Other times, it's too distracting because of all the video game playing going on in the living room. You know how much yelling that involves! My favorite place to write is in the bedroom. What is my bedroom like? I could tell you that it's a cozy room, complete with flowers and candles, but that would be a lie (though I do have candles and flowers- oh, wait, they're dead). It is probably the messiest room in the house and I love it, most days. At the moment, I am sitting on the bed (with no sheets because they are in the dryer) with my computer on my lap where it belongs. On my husband's side of the bed, there are four piles of my summer clothes that are too lazy to walk themselves into the closet, even though I left the door open for them. On top and in front of my vanity table are piles of college books that refuse to walk down the hall and move into the office (guess I have to do that too!). On the left is my nightstand. That contains the usual alarm clock, cup of coffee, pen, glass of iced tea from last night (yup, still good), and my trusty "wake up with an idea and write in this little notebook so I can go back to sleep so I might as well type it up anyway" notebook.
     I'm not sure I even want to get into what is on the floor except that there's a bottle of Ginger Ale from when I had the flu (probably won't try that one) and my stuffed penguin that is face down on the carpet. Sounds like a disaster, right? Yet, I love it here. The cat loves it here. My husband doesn't complain (except for maybe when I am looking for a specific shirt out of hundreds and can't figure out which pile it's in). I'm comfortable here and so are my characters. They don't seem to visit me as much anywhere else.
     Where do you write? If you don't write, where do you read?
