Writing in the Dark
This is not recommended. Sleep is more important, but many of you (including me) will ignore this advice. So might as well tell you how to do it right. When you have to sleep in your older son’s bedroom to make sure he doesn’t toss and turn and go waking up mommy and his brother whenever I go to the bathroom, you don’t have many options to write before going to sleep.
Can’t write in the bathroom because of the reasons above. Not the kitchen, living room, or dining room. Everyone can see the lights from under the doors. The balcony and outside my front door is out of the question. And in my car? Forget it.
The best solution for now is to use my SOG Dark Energy tactical flashlight on the lowest setting, hide under the covers, and write. Yes, this sounds pathetic, but that’s the price of being a writer.
So, what’s the weirdest place or technique you’ve done just so you can write?
