My top three writing spots

My three top places for writing:

No 1:  At my desk, on the laptop: I am so lucky to have an office with large windows overlooking a back garden that is either greened up for spring (as it is now) or accented by autumnal tones from the deciduous trees. It’s my favourite spot. I have all my folders and notebooks there so I can spread out, which I need to do frequently.

No 2:   Outside in the garden: ditto the comments above re the garden. Though it is now disgracefully neglected due to my attention to writing, rather than gardening, in spring it’s all forgiven as the flowering shrubs and perennials just do their thing without my assistance. As the weather warms it’s inviting to sit out under the pergola and write – or dream…

No.3:  In a cafe. I can really only do this using pen and paper – I find the whole laptop thing difficult to wrangle away from my desk at home, though I hope to become better at it. Cafes, I’m sure, are the best places to edit a manuscript.
