The writer's room is a really interesting place to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the community that's created within a writers' room is a very interesting topic.
I think most writers' houses are disappointing. What's much more atmospheric and interesting are the places they wrote about.
Any room where you feel a good vibe is a good place to write.
It's not uncommon to have chaotic writers' rooms.
If I had to write long-form stuff with descriptions of rooms, it would be so boring for me. I like writing dialogue and jokes and situational stuff.
It's been a great place to get in touch with what people are really thinking. And to make contact with readers and other writers. Egalitarian, wide open, like the Wild West!
I've discovered writers by reading books left in airplane seats and weird hotels.
I usually do my writing in a very nice room, my studio, which is in the attic of our house in Wisconsin. But the nice thing about writing is that I can do it in many places. So sometimes I'll write in coffee shops.
After a while, if you're a writer, you want to start appearing in the bookstores of the place you're living in.
I see the role of the writer as creating a room with big windows and leaving the reader to imagine. It's a meeting on the page.
