Pull up a chair and enjoy few weird places to write! Sure, I have a studio in my home and libraries around corner, but sometimes one needs a place private yet public, quiet yet alive, under the radar yet odd–all without home distractions. A few of my favorite spots…
- Parking Lots In the privacy of your vehicle, you can write, spy, and possibly witness shoplifters giggling and running away.
- Grocery Store Cafés Watch people come and go, or stare out upon the sea of cars.
- Goodwill Superstore The bins change every so often, so everyone has to clear out and wait in the furniture section. No one cares if you sit and write for a while, as long as you don’t get in anyone’s way when shopping reopens. Another man’s trash isn’t necessarily your treasure.
- Furniture Department of Boscov’s Department Store Or any department store. Just smile and say you’re testing options. The couches are clean-no coins in the crevices or crumbs ground into the upholstery, mmm…. No wonder I prefer to write here than at home.
- Lawn Furniture Department of Yeah-I’m-Gonna-Do-It-Myself Stores Similar to furniture stores. Just smile and say you’re testing out a few possible options, that is, if any of the staff offer to help you at all.
If I were cool, I would have blogged on awesome places to write, but hey, make do with what you got.
Right on, write on! Keep reading, keep scouting for good nooks! ‘Til next…
