    Where do you prefer to write?

    Just wondering where people usualy write/type.

    Personaly I usualy write in my room at a desk or in an office so nothing too exiting. Although today I'm out in the garden which is nice because it overlooks fields and woods. Where I write dosn't really effect much but I think it's better to be in surroundings you like.

    I'm all over the place. Living room couch, office, outside, coffee shop, &c.

    Anywhere I can. Preferably somewhere quiet.

    At my desk. I need solitude to write effectively; having people around is distracting. (Especially people I'm related to, who will interrupt me at random intervals.)

    I'll write anywhere, but I do my best stuff in my den.

    Hi,

    Normally I'd write at my desk in my study, but lately my backs been too sore to sit for long, so I've taken to writing on a laptop from the couch. Its quite disconcerting writing like that, and the laptop has a wonky spacebar that only works some of the time, meaning I'm constantly having to back type everything. And the cats are a nuisance - they thought the couch was theirs!

    Cheers, Greg.

    I get random ideas usually anywhere but when I actually write I prefer to be somewhere in my house. It really doesn't matter where but when I type I obviously have to be at my computer throne (yes it is a throne. I just call it that because my computer chair is really huge) I just need it to be quiet. I know some people enjoy listening to music when they write but I find that too distracting. I might listen to music before I write to get me pumped up but when I write I prefer to hear nothing but my thoughts.
    I do not procrastinate! I'll give you three good reasons proving I don't, but not right now. Maybe later when I feel like it.

    I outline in coffee shops around town. The change of locations is good for ideas.

    Then I refine it in the den. Where I can concentrate.

    At home, in the computer room. I usually tune out distractions.
