I blog at home on the couch now that we’re set up so that I can use my laptop wirelessly. But if I’m writing fiction, I love to do it away from home at coffee shops.

The following post chronicles what happened when I planned to blog at my favorite coffee shop today. It’s not what I’d call overly inspired, but it is what resulted from the attempt!

I don’t have a laptop, but I do prefer writing with pen and paper. I do my best fiction writing that way, and transcribe it into the computer afterwards. I write on the bus, while waiting for the bus, and if I’m out in a mall food court or coffee shop.

This will be an interesting challenge.

Well that is an easy task! By coincidence I’m on holiday at the moment. For the first time ever I’m blogging in a tent! I’m afraid it isn’t inspiring me to write anything different though – I’m a lot less motivated than usual – nevermind – perhaps something will come to me soon!

I mentally compose posts in my head… often when I’m lying in bed. I use quite poetic language…. often when I’ve got a book review lingering.

Now that I have a laptop, I tend to blog in different places more often. I usually do it at home at my desk though, since that’s where my books are and those help inspire me. And I’ve always got a book with me — I feel weird when I don’t!

I might jump into this whole blog improvement project. I know I could probably use the tips!

Anyway, answering your questions. I too have a laptop so I find myself blogging all over the place. Currently I most frequently blog at home in my room or at work (the library). However, when school starts, I could be blogging anywhere on campus (still, it most frequently happens when I’m in my room).

As for reading – I’ll read anywhere. I carry I book with me in my bag EVERYWHERE just in case I have a few free moments with nothing to do.

This was a great conversation starter.

I eat a lot of cookies while doing homework. Scones too, I love scones

Yes, you do! I haven’t been very successful focusing in libraries. The lighting in the public library close to me is bad (which distracts me), and a lot of the campus libraries are crowded. I may try again this semester and see. I love reading outside at parks, but I’ve never tried blogging there.

I do not have a favorite place, per se, but I feel that I do my best blogging when I am sitting next to a box of Famous Amos cookies.

(Though that might just be the sugar high.)

The library. Nothing inspires me more than the library. I love to be surrounded by people working and reading. I also love coffee shops and watching people come in and out. Oh…and parks. There is something motivating about the great outdoors. Okay…so I have a lot of places that I go to
