My Workstation

As most ponies figure out in fairly short order, I'm not exactly what you'd call the most professional pony ever. I'm much the opposite. Most of my everything follows this rule, which is probably in some part why I get along with Luna so well.
Now, yes, I do have a writing desk. I've even dreamed about having an office. A real writer's office, with like, books, and a desk. An awesome desk. Not just a writing desk, an awesome desk. Like, you know, real wood and with character and a nameplate and. Stuff.
Shut up, Luna. My eccentricities are much less damaging than your eccentricities.
Anyway, uh. Where was I going with this? Right, yes, where I work. Well, while I do often write at my desk,  Luna often insists on poking at me or crawling all over me while I write, because. That's just who she is. So often I end up on the futon with her, wrapped up in blankets with a journal or notebook and quill.
So my workstation is often any cluster of cushions on the floor where Luna shoves me. That's where I've learned to work, and what I'm used to.
Now at first, yes, it was impossible to work like this. I liked having a desk, and possibly a chair. Although I learned to do without that because even back in Canterlot Luna liked to randomly yank them out beneath me sometimes to get my attention if I was immersed in my work. But now I'm used to just kind of flopping down anywhere, and even more, used to being poked and prodded as I work.
Yes, it's hard at first, it takes time, but you really can get used to working anywhere with enough effort, and if you're willing to swallow enough frustration. But, you know, if you need a void to write in, you're probably not going to get very far. You need to learn to deal with life as it happens and write around everything that seeks to interrupt you, whether it's a big change in the environment, noise and stress, or an obnoxious mare that likes to play 'Queen of the Mountain' on your back.
But you can get used to anything, and find time to write anywhere. Believe me, you can. It's tough as hell but just expose yourself to that situation bit-by-bit, and while your writing might stagger a little at first, it'll smooth out. And a side effect of learning to write where, you know, you don't have that fantastic desk and quiet office and... books... is that when you're in that perfect little writing zone, you'll find you're able to focus better and fall into things faster.
It's just all about practice. Pushing through. Ignoring the pony chewing loudly on your ear even when it really starts to hurt and you're pretty sure it's bleeding. Having a place to sit and work is fantastic, and it helps a lot. But you can learn to do without it, too.
