Okay - so far, I've seen threads re: music that you play while writing, and how the actual act of writing affects various people on the boards.  

Quite possible I've just missed it, but curious as to WHERE everybody writes.

For myself, I've got an antique desk all set up for the purpose.  But usually end up writing in bed.  It's just so darned comfortable. And I can shut the door, and block out any noises in the apartment.

How 'bout the rest of youse?  

Cheers,

I write in one of the spare bedrooms. Bought a huge secondhand desk for €80. I have a White board mounted over head for arranging scenes and scribbling notes etc. I prefer to outline and write out scene description in long hand and then type them.

I have an office set up in the basement and I write there, on an old-fashioned desktop computer. I will not buy a laptop because I know that I'll never feel comfortable writing anywhere except in my dingy, comfortable surroundings, where I can blast my music...

In my home office. I have made it a point to make it very writer conducive as it were.

Movie posters on the wall, my very few writing achievements hanging by my desk but most importantly, a naked picture of my wife attached to the bottom of my monitor.

It helps to keep me at my desk even when I don't feel like writing.

  Actually, I write in a spare bedroom.  Lately, though, I've been going up to the desk I have in the attic.

But I feel comfortable writing anywhere.  At the bus station.  Barnes & Noble.  (I'm usually clothed at those places, though.)  Wherever a thought strikes me.

I write in my head.  Then when I can't fit any more I dump it into my computer, in my comfy chair, on my portable desk.

I write everywhere, except I don't write on bathroom walls.   I write in my office. I write in the bedroom. I write in hotels. I write at the cabin. I write at the kitchen table. I write sitting on the floor.I write in restaurants. I write in weird environments like in my dreams at night.

I write using a laptop or a pen or crayola crayons. Sometimes I try and write in Hebrew or some other language. I love words and I love to play with them. They're not just words and that's what make them so special, but we need to be careful with them-- even in virtual reality:

A Celtic saying I came across during the last OWC:

Though there's no bone in a man's tongue, it has frequently broken a man's head.

I sit in the captain's chair of my living room couch and write there, for the most part.  Half the time, the television is on.  Half the time, I'm listening to Pandora.

On occasion, I take my lap top to the library.  Other times, I'll bring it to a quiet bar and have a few beers while writing.  I actually do really well when I have a very light buzz; things don't annoy me as easily and I'm less distracted.

I write everywhere.

My most inspirational moments occur when I'm working on mindless and mundane tasks.
So, I scribble notes of ideas, premises, characters, scenes and dialog bits anywhere I am before I forget them.
Sounds a lot like what Sandra does. But not with crayons. Usually just pen.  

The backs of my checkbooks I keep in the minivan are all covered with notes and outlines.
At work I keep a quartered and stapled sheet of printer paper "book" in my pocket for scribbling notes and outlines.
Sometimes I write a brief, keyword text message and save it as a draft when travelling.

Before knocking out an outline on paper in a notebook as Janet does, I ruminate over it for hours, days or months, which sounds similar to what MC does.

Sitting down at the home or computer near my balcony porch to begin pounding out a story is just a formality.

Sometimes I have to C&P a work in progress to email myself as a draft then continue it at work or elsewhere. Those go to a separate email account I keep just for story ideas, notes, WIPs and lotsa homework that I can access and update from anywhere civilized.

And I'm almost always wearing clothes.

Where ever I want haha. I always bring my lab top with me.

I write on a laptop so technically everywhere. I prefer to write at the kitchen or dining room table in my house. That's where I feel the most comfortable and least distracted. I write in my room quite a bit (on my bed or couch) but that's where I feel the exact opposite. I recently got a desk in my room which changed things significantly but at the moment, I've opted to use it to play computer games on my sister's old PC. Not exactly progress although the few times I did write on it were quite nice.

I've no issues with writing on other computers or in other environments e.g. in a car, bus or train. I've gotten some good writing done on long trips. I've also written on napkins, stickies and in notebooks.

There's no rhyme or reason to my inspiration. Just a matter of comfort. The writing process is very haphazard and unromantic for me, as it seems to be with many professional writers so I don't bother concerning myself with its lack of elegance.

Any way I can get work done. But I've got my preferred spots.

Typically on the couch.... I've got a spot that has a perfect indent of my a$$ and it is oh so comfy.  

I write most of my stuff longhand in a writing pad - in the car, outside, etc. then I transpose it to computer when I'm not feeling creative in my head. This eliminates a lot of revision as by the time I do copy it, I know what to change.

If I sit at the computer and try to write from the word go, i get too distracted by the Net - a few times I gave my wife the modem to take to her work so I had to write!!!!!

I try to find a big field and make crop circles, which I then like to fly over a few days later to see if what I wrote makes sense.  From there, it's straight to the computer, in which I fill in the info using a copy of Showgirls as my template.

So far, it's really been effective for me.
