When I am writing novels and reading, I do not need to separate myself or be away from my family. Usually I work in my living room while Hikari listens to music. I can work with Hikari and my wife present because I revise many times. The novel is always incomplete, and I know I will revise it completely. When I\u2019m writing the first draft I don\u2019t have to write it by myself. When I\u2019m revising, I already have a relationship with the text so I don\u2019t have to be alone.<\/p>\n<p>I have a study on the second floor, but it\u2019s rare that I work there.
