One man’s perfect space is another man’s irritant.

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

To someone who must write , the perfect space is everywhere. You will put up with anything if the ideas are flowing. In fact the great CS Lewis told his step son that interruptions were important, an interesting point of view from a dedicated academic from one of the greatest ivory towers of educational attainment.

I think now it’s the tools we use and the support that is available that is edging “space” out. Word Press, Wi-Fi, Google and Artificial Intelligence broaden the research and accuracy of the subject matter, as does a good pair of headphones and a suitable P.C. and software, not to forget Security Software and an awareness of the foolishness that often occurs on the internet.

With this writing can occur. Whether it is good writing or not only the reader can decide. Perhaps this is what my title refers to , one man’s pleasure is another man’s irritant. It applies to space too.

Every writer though deserves a holiday and the perfect place for a writer is of course a retreat. Mine would be beside the sea with pleasant weather and a sea breeze , plenty of walks and a pub serving good food nearby. I would want some company from self-sufficient people who know me and know when to give me space.

The space would need every mod con and an excellent coffee machine and said writing tools above. Would it be a cottage or a 1930’s Art Deco building? I think I would prefer a Poiroesque Art Deco Building with an architecturally significant staircase leading onto a large simply furnished room at the front of the house with a balcony and sea views. For a few hours a day I would edit my scribbles and then return to real life to gain inspiration.

No I don’t ask much do I?

Namaste. Thank you for reading.
