Location, Location, Location

Location means everything to a writer.  Writers have a tendency to majorly procrastinate.  We have to be “in the zone” in order to write most of the time.  This is why having a writing location is very important.  If you are lucky enough to have a room in your home, then make it cozy and only use it for writing.  However, if you are not lucky enough for a special room, designate a special place.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you know that for me this special place is a coffee shop.  I have two depending on the town I am in.  Yes, you read that right, TWO coffee shops!  If I am in my college town I go to PJ’s.  The atmosphere is awesome and the chairs at my favorite table are painted with inspirational quotes.  The table is in the window so I still get plenty of procrastination in but also I am put in my zone for writing.

My second location is a Starbucks in a town close by.  This Starbucks is a small one but a cozy one.  Again, there is a window table that I sit at and I write away.

Now, writing will not happen if I do not have music playing.  Pandora is AWESOME!!!  I have a 3 Doors Down channel that I plug into and write a way.  It is kinda crazy, I owe much of my writing inspiration and long essays to 3 Doors Down.  They get my writing juices flowing.

Also as you can see from my pictures, coffee is essential to my writing also.  I always have a mocha beverage beside me, whether it is cold or iced depends on the weather outside.  With all my procrastination I need the caffeine to stay awake to write all those needed words.

So where do you write?  Is it a particular set location?  Do you write with music playing also?  Is there  a preferred music type?

Would love to hear from you guys!

    I have a little desk in the corner of my bedroom that houses my notes, research and reference material, and my laptop. I do most of my writing there. But, if push comes to shove, I’d write on my hand while sat in a bus shelter, so long as the words are flowing.

    • I have a desk also but I don’t use it! LOL I keep a journal with me to jot down ideas but I also have a writing app on my phone that I type in interesting names as I hear or see them. These are names that might one day be a character’s name. Also like you I write anywhere and anytime no matter what so I make sure to capture the idea!
