If I were to create the perfect writing room it would have plenty of light, a cat winding around my ankles, a gentle breeze blowing through the window and not be totally silent. I find silence distracting. I like to immerse my head in music if I’m working – I often sit at work when not working with pupils with headphones in my ears (this has the added advantage of preventing people from interrupting me as well). I very much doubt that my writing will ever become big enough to require such a space, but I have sometimes wondered what working from home would be like… I think I would be too distracted and miss the school routine to ever be productive though.
