What's Your Oxygen?

Something about creating something new or making an old thing better helps me breathe. When I get into a zone with writing where the words just fall out of me, instead of having to jerk them out letter by letter, I can feel my spirit loosen up and my brain buzz with happy energy.

Creating and polishing appear to be what I'm wired to enjoy. I like other things and might be content doing them for a while...

My Office

My dream office would be a bright white room with a single pink wall. Or whatever color happened to be my favorite when I painted it. There'd be a couch, lots of light, an end table with a printer, and the colored wall would be covered with white boards and cork boards and probably a bunch of different colored Post-It notes with random ideas and character designs. Link to image here I'd eschew the traditional desk and roll-y chair, and use a lap-desk on my couch. The soundtrack to Saints Row: The Third would be playing in the background. (It helps me concentrate more than any other soundtrack I've tried, couldn't tell you why.)   For now, I take my lap-desk and laptop and plonk myself down anywhere with an outlet that I can hear myself think without being deafened by absolute silence. And if I never get a whole room, I'll totally be okay simply having one of those rolling whiteboards as a miniaturized Wall of Madness somewhere near a sufficiently comfy...
