Write Naked

Oh, thank goodness.

I thought you could see me there for a minute.

He sat,

A modern, figless Adam

Stiff fingers hovering above the keyboard

Two fleshy mounds of skin

Sunk in cold leather

Shoulders cowering from the drafty room

Toes carressing the warmth of the

Power strip beneath his desk.

He writes his first line,

"2) PLAN 'B'..."

Two fleshy mounds of skin

Sunk in cold leather

hehe... at first, I thought that said "shrunk in cold weather"

Nobody would want to sit on my chair for a very specific reason!

I think this goes to the point that it's important to have a place to write where one can be comfortable enough to sit and write for a good stretch of time. If your back and arms are gonna be aching then it will be hard to write for very long. Same goes for comfy clothes. Due to space restrictions where I live I'm currently set up at the dining room table and it's really sub-optimal. When my oldest finally moves out (he's nearly 20 so don't think I'm too cruel) his room becomes my office.

my uniform:

gimp mask and penny-loafers.

first thing that's gotta go when it's time to write--the over the shoulder boulder holder, then the shoes.

Shoes go off as soon as I'm in the house. I do wear clothes when I write. Old, torn tee shirt and similarly old, torn shorts. The cats like to jump up on me and the tabby likes to crawl around--lap to shoulder, shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to arm. If they're going to stick their claws into something, I'd rather it be old cloth, rather than me.

Besides, I sit in a vinyl kitchen chair and if I'm not wearing clothes, I stick to it. A real office chair is on my list. Right after the new computer, digital camera, laptop, new vacuum, new sewing machine, new futon cover....

I wear a leather hood when I write, because it confines my field of vision to the monitor. To keep myself from snacking or chatting with people, I wear one of those gags with the red ball that fits in your mouth. My black vinyl boots, pants and jacket keeps me warm during the winter months, except it doesn't cover my neck. I have a yellow feather boa for that.

Also, I write at Starbucks.

What a picture--FOMC,LMAO,SP (Falling Off My Chair, Laughing My A** Off, Sputtering Pepsi)

I needed a good laugh.

HConn, by any chance, is that outfit left over from some other activity besides writing?

I think I've been to that Starbucks. Needless to say I swore off coffee forever.

I wear a little Asian poolboy named Fook Fook.

Just have a Plan B ready.

Red Shoes

No jean! Never! Red shoes! In Write's Promo there's an example ... eh mine!

Cape Town

Hi Sharp!

I studied at Cape Town and Stellenbosch. Bunked somewhere in Green Point and know every town in the Karoo ... was born in Williston. Cool eh? Where you from?

You wear jeans when you write?


aspier

HConn, that was a hoot.

I wear whatever I happen to find that morning. One weirdish addition lately is a fingerless glove on my right hand. I think it's probably because of my post-StupidHeartAttack meds but my hands, especially the right one, nearly always feel cold.

I am naked right now.

Good one, Maryn! Ray writes naked, uh- wow!


And I typically can write in anything comfortable. Jeans and a t-shirt - or shorts.

In sunny South Africa, what you wear depends on the weather... Summer means I wrap myself in a soft sarong (and only a sarong!) while winter sees me wrapped up in a nice, comfy duvet. The downside of that is that it's ever so tempting to migrate to the bed and have just a little snooze for quite a few hours!
