Where Do You Write?

This is the final post in my sequence about the Why, What, Who, When, and Where of writing. It is also the most difficult to tackle. Why should where you write be important? I'm sure that some writers require a very comfortable and carefully arranged setting. Others jot ideas on Post-It notes and write the finished version on a clipboard pad while watching television. Some even dictate their materials into a recorder and get someone else to transfer their thoughts to computer input or paper. Some like isolation, while others do their best writing in a coffee shop. The most important aspect of Where is that it must be a setting that works for you. At least a pen, a laptop, and a smartphone are portable devices. You can easily test a variety of writing venues until you find the one that makes you feel most efficient, has the fewest distractions, or is the most likely to keep you stimulated. Wherever you write, try to write something every day. Writing is habit forming, and the more you do it, the better the writing habits become.
