I started following a blog of note called automatism today. Pretty awesome blog! I was reading some of the author's stuff and found an article that had the link featured in mine today....so you could say automatism was an inspiration.
Anyhu if you read the article you'll see that its about various well known writer's, like Mark Twain and Roald Dahl, and their 'writing huts.' Essentially a writing hut is a shed where some writers stay in when writing, like their own private world away from the world, where they can go crazy and have numerous writer's blocks LOL
The reason why this interested me is quite bizarre really. When I was much younger, the house we lived in Nigeria had a study. It was originally my dad's study, but when he passed away it became a personal and creative haven for me. So as a child my time was divided between excessive amounts of television and discovering my love for reading and writing in my dad's study. I had most of my meals in there...which weren't many as I was never a big eater :D Basically that study was MY 'writing hut.' You have no idea how important this makes me feel! LOL childish I know...You should have seen me last week when I realised that the actor, Neil McDermott who plays Ryan on EastEnders had two of my teddy bears! :O
