Adapting Writing Boundaries to the Fur Children
Posted by jarviswrites in Jennie, Relationships In Writing, Supporting Yourself As A Writer, The Writer's Life, Where I write, Writing Advice on July 8, 2015
By Jennie Jarvis When I lived in Los Angeles, I had the best writing companion. Each afternoon, I would turn to my sweet dog Arnold and say “It’s time to go to work!” He wound bound up the stairs, leading me to the top floor office where I would install myself behind my writing desk […]
The Question of Where
Posted by Emilia Fuentes Grant in Guest Bloggers, Where I write on May 24, 2012
I rarely think about where I write. The question is usually when, or how, or if I will—”where” is an afterthought.
