Writing in the comfort of your home is, I believe, very important - especially if you are an author.
You have to make do with your apartment or house, really, unless you want to go somewhere else- but staying where you truly live is important in its own way.
Firstly, home is home! There is nothing like making yourself a little corner by the window or in your brother's cupboard, and starting to write (which can be rather tricky without any light).
I advice setting up your own little "space": you might want to bring a hearth-rug and some cushions there, or maybe you are just fine on your bed! If your house is too small, never fear - how about sitting on your windowsill or on the steps? Most importantly, I think it is essantial to know that you can come home from work, ask your maid to make you some hot chocolate, and sit and relax.
You do not have to sit on a chair in front of your desk but if you plan to spend many hours writing something, your posture HAS to be straight. You don't want to be crooked for the rest of your life, right?
You may even get yourself a sort of writing desk; my father has one, and it is a lifesaver when you know you're going to be in front of a computer for hours and hours. So, basically, you have to stand up all the time - so if you sit down, you lose the game!
Also, a lot of exercise is needed... well, not a "lot", like, "a LOT", but a bit is fine. I mean, how about having a qo at some sit-ups or a 15-second plank? Come on - it can't be that hard.
Often we watch videos on how to plan out your story or something of that sort - but can't you jump around or roll your shoulders while the video is playing? It's important to think of your health.
Good Luck,
Sandra
