Describe the room in which you typically write.
I write in the laundry room, in the basement, which sounds very unglamorous but it’s quiet and out of the way. You don’t get interrupted – people don’t just go barging into the laundry room on a whim. The only downside is that you’re the first person to know when the laundry’s done and needs to be hung out, and it’s very hard to think of excuses for not doing it.
