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!
