IN MY HABITAT
- Guest Post by Randi Everheart
Thanks for having me!
I’ve been writing for many years and have
gone through a few desks in my time. But
I’m now happy to report that I am desk-free!
Laptops are so much easier to work on and I do NOT miss my desktop
computer. That said, sometimes I need
more quiet than I typically get and retire to my recording studio, taking the
laptop with me.
Yes, I’m also a musician, one who’s
recorded a few CDs over the years, though I confess to not having much time
anymore. I have to choose between
fiction and music, usually, and used to put music first. But now fiction is front and center!
Since I work on a laptop now, I don’t
really have a desk, unless you want to consider my lap one. That’s where the magic happens – whether there’s
a computer there or not ;)
One of the reasons I need more peace and
quiet sometimes is my toddler, who I watch after work while trying to write,
too. He’s very self-sufficient with
play. In fact, when I get down on the
floor with him, he gives me about 5 minutes before deciding he’s bored with me
and wants to do something else. It works
out pretty well, normally, allowing me to write and hang out with him at the
same time.
But I certainly have to stop mid-sentence
to help him at times. Or give him a
bottle, change him, or comfort him after a tumble. And here is his latest handiwork, a broken
window that’s still boarded up while I wait for the insurance guys to get it
fixed:
He broke it right in front of me while I
was writing a sentence. I was just about
to tell him to stop tapping on the glass with his plastic golf club when it
shattered. He was okay, but the window
wasn’t!
So that’s my current view as I’m writing right
now. It’s darker now, too, because I
leave the curtains closed to prevent him from playing with the boarded up
window – that already gave him a splinter!
One table is now in front of it to bar the way. It’s certainly not the first time we’ve
rearranged the room for him.
This is the chair I sit in while writing;
it’s also been moved from its usual position due to the kiddo, but that’s been
true so long I don’t remember where it used to be! It’s a recliner and has cup holders for water
(and wine). I used to write on the couch
you see behind it until the recliner handle broke a while ago and the spouse
and I just can’t around to fixing it.
Funny how every errand takes a long time to do with a toddler around,
but my writing takes priority over some household stuff.
I sometimes get my best writing done during
his naps or after bedtime, not surprisingly.
Or when my spouse takes over. I
try to get computer errands like promotional stuff done when I’m more
distracted. It’s a life.
