Not a chance. I love clutter on my desk, items that remind me of trips or people or events – it’s all a stimulation for me and can help me create some interesting and real imagery within my writing. A cluttered desk is a sea of serendipity for the imagination. Just say NO to clean desks.
Not a chance. But this time it is because I’m just too disorganised both practically and in my thinking to be sitting at a desk at the moment my imagination says let’s write. To be honest I’m surprised I ever get anything written.
So, when I do get writing I like to write with something goining on in the background. Usually this is music. Something like the Ozric Tentacles or God is an Astronaut. Alternatively, sitting in a café with all the chat going on around me works well. It has the bonus of me not having to make my own coffee.
