This is so true. I wrote the first three books in my mystery series in between cars while working as an overnight parking cashier at a Courtyard Marriott. Best. Job. Ever. I even got employee of the month. It’s a shame they put in a machine.
Lol I had the vision of the perfect writing environment too. Calm and peaceful, candles, me looking gorgeous, thoughtful, and inspired all at the same time. I got over it. Then I watched Nicole Kidman being a writer in Perfect Couple and I un-got over it.
I imagined swanning around in designer clothes, magically skinnier, hair and makeup done to perfection tapping away at a laptop. Instead of in my jeans and t-shirt (on a good day), with multiple screens, an untidy desk and a mouthful of chocolate biscuits. Oh well.
PS: What is it with these TV characters and laptops? They always have such empty desks, and no proper screens.
