I\u2019m unashamedly nosy, and love driving round at that time in the early evening when lamps are lit but curtains not yet closed, looking in at thumbnails of other people\u2019s lives through front windows.<\/p>\n A couple of years after we moved to our current house, we finally emptied the last of the packing boxes, and bought a desk for the study. It\u2019s a lovely room, with an overflowing bookcase filling one wall, a glorious view over fields, and on the rare occasion when we have a sunny day, the light streams through the window. Here it is:<\/p>\n I wish I could say that this was my writing room. It would be such a treat to come in here each morning for a few uninterrupted hours with my notebook and pen. But the truth is that I\u2019ve never written a word at that desk. Like most other writers, I have a day job and a family, and writing has to fit in the gaps, whenever and wherever it can.<\/p>\n In reality, much of The Magic of Ramblings was written in the kitchen, while keeping an eye on the dinner and struggling to help with impossible homework questions. Some of it was written in the car outside school, or in Sainsbury’s car park while waiting for a Saturday morning activity to end. Sparks of inspiration for scenes and conversations flared during the ironing or on the drive to work.<\/p>\n For me, the important point isn’t where I write, but where I write about. Ramblings is set in Lancashire, the county where I live and which I love. Here\u2019s a picture taken on one of my favourite walks:<\/p>\n This is the Lancashire where my stories come to life. Cassie, my heroine, might lean on this gate to admire the view as she takes her solitary walks around the Ramblings estate; Barney, my hero, would stride through these fields, his dog, Gin, scampering at his heels.<\/p>\n So I don\u2019t think it matters whether I use a writing room or not. As long as I have a window, I can look out and see thumbnails of my characters\u2019 lives, and it\u2019s all the inspiration I need.<\/p>\n **********<\/span><\/p>\n ABOUT KATE FIELD<\/strong><\/p>\n Kate Field lives in Lancashire with her husband, daughter, and a recently arrived Russian Blue kitten, who may prove so distracting that she never has time to write again. The Magic of Ramblings<\/em> is her first published novel.<\/p>\n Facebook:\u00a0 <\/strong>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KateFieldAuthor\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Twitter: @katehaswords<\/strong><\/p>\n A \u00a325 or equivalent Amazon Voucher<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Kate](\"http:\/\/www.melanierobertson-king.com\/wp02\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/writing-room-1024x765.jpg\")
