Even a shower will pep my up and take me out of the zone towards more physical pursuits.

I gave myself back issues around the time I was preparing the final run up to publishing - pulling all-nighters and sitting in the same position for 16+ hours.

I, also, want it to be quiet. I have to be at home to write because when I'm out, in a coffee shop say, I tend to watch the people. Sometimes I get good ideas for characters that way.<br />And, I know this might sound weird, but I have to be barefoot.Viv Drewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215684444097105651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-56527458302312087932016-06-20T19:34:31.952-04:002016-06-20T19:34:31.952-04:00I've never tried writing in a coffee shop befo...I've never tried writing in a coffee shop before, i think It would be too distracting for me...but i may try it.

If you find something that works, then stick to it. For me, utter and complete solitude and quiet is the best. Writing around other people is something I just cannot be doing with. I need me and nobody else,but each to their own, for sure.

I've had fun at writers' workshops, love brainstorming sessions with other writers and beta reading, but generally get the most done at home.
