Subway Car Is a Writers’ Workshop on the Way to Queens and Back
Local editor and creative writing instructor Brian Henry sometimes holds writing workshops at The World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto, but I haven't been to one there yet.
This makes me think about places where I've worked on my writing projects:
- in my writing room at the computer
- on the living room sofa while watching mindless television
- at the side of the pool waiting/watching kids swimming
- in the backyard or on the front porch
- in waiting rooms
- in a car (as a passenger)
- up in a big tree (when I was a preteen)
- sitting on a dock
- at an outlet mall
- at a rowing regatta
- in a library
- in a hotel at Whistler
Where's the craziest location you've ever attending a writing workshop or done any writing?
You're certainly maximizing writing time. Great ideas. Sorry I don't have any crazy writing places. I usually write in my sunroom or standing up at the kitchen counter because I sit way too much.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I sit way more than I should! A sunroom sounds like a lovely place for writing!
DeleteI'm like Natalie. No crazy places for me. I'm easily distracted so I can only write in a room without distractions. Or without many distractions. Some of my friends get together to write in a cafe. Not me.
ReplyDeleteI hate distractions too. When I'm waiting somewhere, I try to find a place to sit that's kind of off to myself.
DeleteI can't write anywhere but home, but I do watch and listen to everyone and everything when I'm out and about--always gathering ideas...
ReplyDeleteObserving is such a great way to collect ideas!
DeleteHa, that's an interesting place for a workshop.
ReplyDeleteI remember a couple of years ago I donated all the furniture in my house except my bed and I got TONS of writing done there -- go figure. :)
Wow, comfy! And I guess it would be faster to clean your house too!
Deletewriting at the laundromat was my lowest, writing on the balcony of a luxury suite in ko olina hawaii (on a press trip, of course) was my top. i've also written on the subway - which really works for inspiration sometimes!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess I haven't experienced many crazy places. I'm normally in my office. Occasionally I'm in an armchair, or a waiting room.
