The technical aspect of publishing, however, is the easy part. In order for any of this to work, you need to find a way to explore and exploit your creativity. Creating a proper home office might just be a way for you to make this a lot easier, so here are several essentials that you should definitely look out for. Traditional writing equipment Sometimes, what a writer needs in order to get the most of their creativity are the tools of immersion. When it comes to this, there’s nothing that beats the traditional paper notebook or journal. Later on, you can easily transcribe this into MS Word, thus proofreading along the way. Other than this, you would be surprised at just how many writers still use a typewriter and there are some amazing vintage typewriters on Pinterest that would go along great with the rest of the décor. Work on the décor The décor can also be quite inspiring for a writer. In fact, Gustave Flaubert wrote his renowned novel Un Coeur Simple from an inspiration he drew from a stuffed parrot that sat atop of his writing desk. Now, we’re not suggesting that you go above and beyond with “meaningful” items but creating a peculiar ambiance in your home office might help get you inspired. This doesn’t even have to be an accessory and a cozy woolen carpet can help you feel warmer and more welcome in the room. Inspirational images When writing about a specific location, it might be a good idea for you to try and visualize the place by displaying a related image on the wall in front of you. For instance, if the setting of your story is set on a seaside, get a glass prints online that is depicting this setting might be the way to go. Souvenirs that remind you of such places can be just as effective. Kindle e-book reader The last thing you want is a proper kindle e-book reader. First of all, there’s a practical reason as to why this is so important. You see, the bulk of your publishing will be in this format, which is why it’s so important that you get a chance to see your works as customers will see them. Second, reading classics is one of the best ways to improve as a writer. You don’t have to plagiarize anyone, you can just look at some technical aspects of their writing, thus improving as a writer. Finally, reading is a great stress relief and this industry can be a lot more stress-inducing than you think. In conclusion The very last thing you need to keep in mind is the fact that creativity and productivity in this industry are quite individual and there’s really no way for one to guarantee that one technique or another will prove to be more effective. This is why it’s important that you experiment. After all, you know yourself better than anyone else, which is why the ultimate choice on this subject is always yours to make.
