Where do you do your best writing?  |
| |
| I'm really trying to get writing again, but I'm having a difficult time finding a comfortable place to write. I almost always write on the computer, but neither of my computers are conducive to working. I have a metal folding chair at my desktop, after I had to give up my really comfy rolling chair. I would love to write on my laptop, but when I sit down on the futon, it's so comfy that I don't want to work! :) Where do you find that you get your best writing done? Do you have a special chair or area for writing? | | | | | |

| | Not really a special place per se. I usually will just take my laptop and get comfortable somewhere to get started on my writing. I don't know, but it's really easy for me to get writing once I have gotten comfortable. Whether I am on the bed laying down with my laptop, or even at a local coffee shop or library getting some time in, it's more about getting to the focus of writing that where I do it. Some of my best writing comes when I might be somewhere that you might think isn't wasy to write at. For example, I do a lot of great writing on the train when I am on my way home. I actually type on my cell phone because of the QWERTY keyboard I have on it and then e-mail it to myself so that I can retrieve it when I get home to my laptop. | | | | | | |

| | Ooh, I wish I had a spiffy cell phone that I could write on. I don't spend a ton of time on the bus, but I could probably get some writing done while I'm waiting for the bus and riding to and from work. | | | |

| | We're fortunate enough to have a couple of spare bedrooms in our house, one of which we turned into a home office. I do almost all of my writing in there but will hit the basement now ang again with my laptop and do some stuff there. Once I start writing everything else seems to get blocked out and I can usually whip out an AC article in about 10-15 minutes. | | | | | | |

| | I have a little corner of our living room set aside as my office, but that's all I get for right now. We only have a one bedroom apartment, so no separate room for me. :( | | | |

| | I have found strangely that writing while Thor plays video games is the msot conducive to getting a lot done. The video games will occassionally have a pretty seen to distract me from my computer screen and let my eyes rest, but are not likely to suck my attention away long term like a movie or show might. I tend to write on my laptop, sitting on the pillow you made me on the futon, so my butt doesn't go numb from the futon bar :) But if I had the best option, it would be at my Computer Desk with the rolly chair...but that's in Nick's room, so that's not always an option...and I don;t want to write on his computer :) | | | | | | |

| | Hmmm... maybe when we get the GameCube back that will work. Right now, we've only got the OLD Nintendo, and Jerome doesn't play that except every rare once in a while. | | | |

| | I think I may have to start scouring yard sales and consignment shops for a comfy chair for my Computer Desk. This metal folding chair just won't cut it, and if I tried to use my pappasan, I'd be about four feet away from my keyboard! :) | | | |

| | I find that I don't have a certain place. I like being at the computer because I do a lot of research and quick dictionary, thesaurus, etc. searches. However, I think the computer is best for revising my work and organizing the quick thoughts that I originally composed. My best writing comes at all different places. Being comfortable is one thing, but I also think that surrounding yourself with something is good too. Perhaps you can try different environments--just bring a notebook with you and sit down somewhere. On your porch, in a park, in a coffee shop, etc. You might be surprised what each places inspires you to do, and what it is about each place that does that. A scent, a sound, someone's shoes, an insect, someone's shoes stepping on an insect, anything! That's what seems to work well for me. So, perhaps I do my best writing, or at least collect my best ideas outside of my apartment. Inside my apartment, I just want to rest most of the time. Outside, you're exposed to a lot more and I think that gives more ideas. Inside my apartment is better for organizing without distractions, but the original ideas usually come better away from home. However, books or magazines I read at home can help too...so it's hard to say. | | | | | | |

| | I like to write when I'm outside because it makes me feel inspired. I also like to write at night in bed before I go to sleep because I feel really relaxed. Sometimes I'll just write by hand and then put in on the computer later. | | | | | | |

| | I do my best writing with a legal pad, and a gel blue ink pen in my office, scarywhitegirl. Unfortunately, I have not had an office in six years, and I have not done any writing in that time. I am in the process of acquiring an office in the next few months, and I hope to write. | | | | | | |

| | It used to be on the computer, but I find lately that I'm doing more writing with pen and paper. Which unfortunately limits the time that I can spend writing, but at least I'm writing more now. | | | | | | |
