There are quainter coffeehouses around, but I'm not there to look at the decor. <BR/><BR/>The location didn't inspire the novel I was working on much then, but it seeped into my subconscious and the book I am NOW working on is an urban fantasy set in downtown Saint Paul.<BR/><BR/>I could never write where I could see the outdoors. Animals and nature distract me far more than people do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-1157662231405347832006-09-07T15:50:00.000-05:002006-09-07T15:50:00.000-05:00Working at a desk kills my back.

(And I really mean that, despite the snickering you hear from the people who've seen the way I slouch, prop up my feet, etc.) If I could arrange for a nice desk and office chair on a screened porch, preferably with a monitor and docking station already set up, I'd probably like that option. But since I hate typing on the laptop keyboard and looking at the laptop screen, I do most of my writing in my home office.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235581646855322094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-1157645326079449962006-09-07T11:08:00.000-05:002006-09-07T11:08:00.000-05:00I write in bed.

Once "mosquito season" is over, I plan on spending time poolside - after the pool is closed for the Fall/Winter - at one of the picnic tables. The community clubhouse is just next door and is perfect, I think. There's a Pepsi machine, about six tables with umbrellas - and a score of fauna and flora.<BR/><BR/>Currently, I'm not writing anywhere. :( We've spent this last week moving, and I'm worn out. But once we settle in, I'll be back at either the dining room table or my little sofa with my pen and clipboard. At either, I have a nice view out of the sliding glass door - trees, birds, and a rolling hillside.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, I'll hop the bus and take myself off to the main library downtown or walk over the hill to the branch library. Something about a library atmosphere does something. ;-)<BR/><BR/><I>I can't not write.
