Confession time
Re: Confession time
Fully dressed, mostly. On weekends I'm in duds and sometimes a hat or skull cap. But I write between projects at work, so it's more formal normally. Which is to say, jeans, collar shirt, shoes, combed coif.

Wow Jaime this is exactly what I do!!! Funny how we get dressed just so our husbands don't think we are lazy! :)Jaime wrote:Haha! Love. This. Question.
PJ's, for sure. But maybe I'm just lazy. I write until around 2-3am, then my toddler wakes up at around 10am, and I write on and off during the day - still in my pyjamas.
I get dressed at around 5pm so that when my husband comes home, it looks like I might have actually gone outside during the day ;)
Working my very first attempt at a mystery novel. 1st draft
Re: Confession time
It depends. I live in a hot climate so I tend shower first and write in a towel, if I can't wait to get started. Other than that, I toss on a T-shirt.
If we're having a cold snap, I get dressed after my shower. Sometimes I wake up and a scene is running through my head, so I throw on a robe and run in and write it.
When I write at night, I'm usually dressed, but I generally revise at night.

Me? I write in my pajamas. ;)

Lol, Lisa, you're so glam.

Re: Confession time
I know, I know. The quintessence of glam, that's me!
Though I did let my mom wash the Chargers sweatshirt, after that epic beat-down of the Titans last night. I figured they didn't need the extra good look for Washington next week.
Oh, and whoever said he goes out to the gym and puts his pj's back on? Me too.

Re: Confession time
I just work out in my pj's. Saves time all around.

Re: Confession time
I should clarify, since I am old enough to do my own laundry (heh!) -- I'm visiting my folks -- my mom saw the grubby condition of the sweatshirt and took it away from me. You know, some things never change...
Re: Confession time
Considering I sleep in my clothes from the day before, I suppose you could say I write in my pyjamas. Sometimes I do change first. Depends when Calliope, Melpomene and Clio decided to come knocking. And how kind they're being.
Re: Confession time
Haha, cute question. :) I do most of my writing at work or train stations, so there's that answer. ;)
Re: Confession time
I drove home from San Diego in my polar bear pajamas just now...

Re: Confession time
PJs definitely.
Actually, on days when I don't have to go anywhere I usually just stay in my pajamas. I get up, do the whole brushing teeth and such thing, and just stay in them (I usually shower at night because my hair is a total frizz-ball if I don't sleep on it). It just doesn't make sense to me to dirty another set of clothes just to sit around the house.
But if I was forced to change into "real" clothes for whatever reason, I'll write in those. I hate the process of changing clothes in general and I refuse to even buy clothes that I'm not comfortable in, so it's not like it's an inconvenience.
Team PJ all the way :-)

Re: Confession time
Maybe I'm being frightfully British here...but I prefer to get up, get dressed (into something co-ordinated), brush my teeth, do my hair and make up (lipstick included), have some toast and coffee and THEN I'm ready to write - phew!
Somehow if I feel untidy and messy my writing becomes untidy and messy too.
But then again, it could simply be stalling tactics like the oh-my-room-needs-a-good-tidy-phenomenom, just before revising for exams!
