Where do you go when you write?

Nikoel · Mar 23, 2005

I'm just curious where people go when they write!!

I like to site in my backyard, under a tree with a pen and paper!! That way I can't just backspace over my mistakes! Sometimes the best stuff comes from my mistakes!

I can write in almost any place, from the quiet woods behind my house, which is probably my favorite to just think about my story, to my hectic high school. However, i can rarely write fluently and effectively on a subject I don't care about, or have no passion to write about.

I have--unfortunately, I think--trained myself to think with keyboard instead of a pen. Luckily I managed to acquire a laptop, so when I have the leisure to pick my spot, it's usually at my sunny little table in front of the French doors, looking out onto the backyard.

I once spent a rainy morning in a local coffee shop -- I hadn't really planned on being there, so I just had a notepad from my car and a pen. I brainstormed for an hour or so over coffee, listening to the rain. It was pretty productive, for a spontaneous session. But I can't ever do it again, because if I ever get used to that, I'll be in real trouble.

But, usually, most of my writing takes place on my computer at work when my boss isn't looking!

Normally I write in my office, but on occassion I'll take my laptop out on the backporch and write. When I'm doing research for a novel, I'll bring along the laptop and write notes/ideas. After a day of research I'll be inspired to write and will work where I am. The reality is that my head is swimming with new information. Some will be useful and some will not. Some information gives me greater insight into the character that won't necessarily be in the text of the novel, but will help me to make the character more real for the time period I'm writing in.

And since I started writing with a computer, I seldom can think with pen and paper. I purchased a palm pilot and keyboard for those moments when I just have to get a thought down and the computer isn't handy.

I when ever and where ever I can(if I'm not reading). You'll just about never see me when I don't have easy access to paper and a writing utensil(usually pen or pencil).

I write in my kitchen listening to instrumental music. It helps get the juices flowing.

Lycana · Mar 24, 2005

I write on my computer at home listening to music too. I find it really helps.

risingstar · Mar 24, 2005

I will write just about anywhere I get an idea . lol But most of the time I get on the computer at home and type like crazy.

My computer work is often interrupted by well-meaning people dear to me. I've made a list of places I can go when I think I'll explode...libraries bounce the sound too much. College libraries sometimes have computers, but can also have a loud hum of fans. Fast food chains during the day have a nice amount of white noise, with nobody who cares how long you sit there or what you're doing. Coffee houses almost convey that. But under a tree--who can beat it?

Talons · Mar 24, 2005

I usually take my lucky floppy disk with me... and laptop everywhere. Annoyingly i seem to have random bursts of inspiration in the middle of the night. I literally wake up from my weird dreams and write.

Thank goodness for coffee!

My favorite place to write is by the water. I love sitting on the beach with my pen and paper, listening to the waves crash and jotting down my thoughts and ideas.

My second favorite would probably be right here on my desk while listening to music. Sometimes I find it hard to concentrate with music playing though. Just depends on my writing mood I suppose

JesseRaymondBassett · Mar 24, 2005

Hehehehe....does anyone write in the bathroom? I know my grandma used to do that!

No... that's where I catch up on my reading!

(Though I must say long, hot showers have solved countless plot development problems, so I suppose I do write in the bathroom, so to speak.)

i love to write and i write almost anywhere. i have a million different notebooks so i always have one if i have an idea.

i would have to say most of my writing is done late at night, sitting on my bed, listening to music. thats become my favorite spot. i could sit there for hours and just write. the only problem is that ever since my desk light almost melted my remote control, ive developed a fear of that light. so writing at night is a little bit harder lol.

Zugdor · Mar 26, 2005

I do most of the main body writing on the computer, any kind of backup notes in a notebook so I can sketch if I need to.

I also e-mail myself little ideas during the day (I have a yahoo and hotmail account) just to make sure they are kept somewhere.

mdhislaer · Mar 27, 2005

I love to write, late at night in my bed, or by the fire.

That is so weird! I do that too! My favorite place to write is on my bed, late at night, listening to music. But I come up with some of the best plot iseas(or solve major plot problems) in school. Ususally in math or Spanish, where we get in trouble for not paying attention.

JesseRaymondBassett · Mar 27, 2005

Thats school for ya though...

mdhislaer · Mar 27, 2005

My ideas usally come in the shower. I can talk to my self in there, and my idea flow when i can talk about them

Russ The Fuzz · Mar 27, 2005

In my room, often when I'm awake at night, awake with all ideas, so I get up as soon as I can, write everything down and when it's done I go back to sleep

Where do you go when you write?
