Before the babies arrived I used to write on my laptop in
the dining room. I enjoyed working at a clean desk with all my papers in order.
It was a quiet space with no interruptions.
Now that I have two babies, working this way is impossible. There is now very little space in the house - a few weeks ago I gave birth to squish in the dining room - and now this room is used as a storage room for the birth pool (which I should get round to selling
on ebay!), the buggy, spare toys and three airers for drying the reusable
nappies. It is no longer my writing haven…
Having a dedicated work space would be great but the
practicalities of snatching time to write with two small children means that I write
in short bursts of half an hour, wherever I may be in the house. Like hooeycritic, most of my writing happens late at night when the house is quiet.
When I’m feeding squish, I read or type one-handed with the laptop perched on
my lap.
