Umm a beach at sundown, getting eaten by mosquitoes in the dark, with nothing to lean on but my knee and a pen filled with sand. And with more mosquitoes (it was insane), sandfleas an the tide all fighting each other to devour my legs.
The sunset was worth it though :-)
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas. . . . . .
I work best on a computer but if I get little ideas or something, I write them down on the closest available piece of paper. Sticky notes are the bomb.
-Carly
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
I like to sit on the grass in the park near my house. The wind is nice there. Sometime I use paper and pencils(I just have a strange hatred against pen.) when I wander around in rain. Rain give me most inspiration.Yup, the paper will get wet a little, but I can still read it and write on it.
Who am I? Just a wanderer, traveling from real life to dreams.
“Writing a book is a very lonely business. You are totally cut off from the rest of the world, submerged in your obsessions and memories.” - Mario Vargas Llosa
Hmmm...huddled on a park bench for two hours. In my car at night. In my car outside my friend's house. In my car with my obnoxiously loud family. On my bed. Really, anywhere!

I can't see out the side windows of my car because I hung jumpers there to keep the sun off my laptop screen. On writing days I drive off somewhere on our property with my laptop, sketchbook and a few apples and stay out for up to seven hours - until the battery runs out. Cars make good offices - at least, my Sierra does anyway.
If I'm low on petrol I just grab a fold-up chair, although with it being winter now in Australia, it's a bit cold for that. Getting away from the house is very important. I can't get inspired at my desk.
The worst place I've written is in the back of our family car whilst four-wheel-driving. I gave up pretty quickly. If I didn't have an SSD my laptop would have been kaput.
The best place I've written was on the bank of our dam on a hot summers day, although I spent more time skinny dipping than writing. Good times.
I'd like to write at the beach. I think I'll do that some time. Or on top of a mountain perhaps...
I like to sit on my fence and lean on this huge shrub protruding out of my neighbors backyard.
She doesn't care, and I doubt she could see me anyway.
I've always wondered what's back there.
Oh, and sometimes I'll write on my grandmother's swinging chair in her backyard when I'm on break from working for her.
Novels/Short Stories-on my bed, by my pond, with college ruled paper
Songs-on my phone (which is very difficult with a low battery)
Poems-on the back of receipts in my dad's sissy truck. If it's not on a receipt (preferably Lowe's or Home Depot) I can't write one darn line of poetry!
