Ladies and Gentlemen, if you do not have a special workspace at home, for writing, I would encourage you to set one up.
For me, there is nothing more important than having a good environment to write in. If I don't feel comfortable in a particular place, I can't get the creative juices flowing.
Recently, I have really been struggling, trying to write at home. So I decided that it was time to rearrange my workspace, so that it would be more conducive to the creative process. I can't even describe what a huge difference it has made. Call it writer's feng shui, or something like that.
(My own personal writing haven, cluttered with all my favorite things, just how I like it!!! : D )
If you find that you just can't write at home at all, or need a change of scenery for inspiration I would suggest a couple alternatives:
Right now, the places I have found that work the best for me are coffee shops (Starbucks in particular. Check out my post about why I think Starbucks is awesome.)
Also, bookstores like Borders or Barnes and Noble have cafes and extensive seating areas; besides, you can't tell me that being surrounded by thousands of books isn't inspiring.
I've had minimal success trying to write in a libraries, I find it too quiet, but that may be EXACTLY what YOU need.
I guess the bottom line is, trying different setups and locations, until you discover the optimum writing environment for you, is a fun, worthwhile project.
