My Editing Space

My writing space and my editing space might be in the same location but it's a completely different set up. I like bright an colorful things surrounding me when I write. That's why my storyboards are so colorful. I like to have tons of things on my desk while I do it. I don't know why, it's just how my muse and I work. Though, those colorful things are distracting when it comes to editing. 

While with writing everything can be slightly disorganized, editing is much different. I need open space. I need movement. Everything I need has to be within reach. Now, my work space isn't completely empty but the things on there aren't in the way either.

This is how I have to edit. There are very few things on and around my desk that you see. Even my walls are bare. That wasn't intentional but I think it will remain that way for some time. At least on this side of the room. I have some pens, my manuscript, my writing notes, some sticky notes, a coffee mug that is currently empty, a blanket my best friend made me, etc. There are some things I don't need on there right now, like my speaker but it's staying where it's at for now.

Now, let's hope this distraction free method lasts me the year. If not, I'll find something else to help me make editing easier. 

The real goal is going to be keeping the area clean for a year.
