Where is Your
Writing Happy Place?
by A.E. Albert
"If my writing comes to a halt, I head to the shops. I find them very inspirational and if I get into real trouble with my plot, I go out for a pizza with my husband."
- Sophia Kinsella
Your writing happy place. You know, the just right setting to write in. We all have one. The perfect environment that allows our creative juices to flow and present itself as words on a page.
I used to be one of those people who laughed at 'wanna be' authors who sat in coffee shops. You know the kind. They're sitting in front of their laptop, a cappuccino in one hand and very serious look on their face.
Of course, now that I write myself, I'm very embarrassed by these preconceived notions.

It's all about stimulating the senses. I generally write in my apartment. Unfortunately, my limited laptop battery makes venturing far difficult.
Change is Good
Now more than ever, I can appreciate the need to write in alternate surroundings. Different sights, smells and textures are catalysts to the creative process.

Sometimes, I'll take a pad of paper and a pen and sit under a tree. I love sunlight and I think it gets my juices going. When I'm feeling stunted, I like to walk around and let my thoughts move freely in my mind.
It's amazing how an idea seemingly appears out of nowhere. The point is, setting is paramount when in the creative mode. If you feel stuck, change it up.

I agree with you. A variety of settings is conducive, to the mind's getting to function.. I say keep a sheet of paper, at all times; ergo, if you think of something when out and about, you're equipped to jot its entirety down.

I agree. I also like to write down ideas at work when I have a few free minutes.
ReplyDeleteBased on experience, that's how ideas come about.. randomly, spontaneously.
