I write everyday, which I've always heard and agreed with, is what makes a person a writer. Sometimes I have a hard time making myself work on the long-term projects, or the marketing aspects or whatever.

I am wondering...I beat myself up thinking that a writer should be able to write just about anywhere if they are legitimate, then I read about favourite authors who have to have things just so in order to produce.

This leads me to believe I need a separate computer, which is not online, to write on, as the temptations are too much for me, sometimes. I go online to reseach something, check in at the 'Cat, do some more research, which leads to more interesting reading, and the next thing you know, my piece is not done. I also think I need a more private or generic space (i.e. library carrel) than the middle of the kitchen with the birds in one ear and cats draped all over.

So, how about it, those of you who spend time as writers etc.? What is your writing space like, do you feel you should be able to produce no matter what, and how do you overcome the distractions?

Thanks!
