This coffee shop is not far from where I work. I like it here a lot. The people are nice, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and it is great for people watching. This may be a place I frequent quite a bit when I need to write. Coffee shops for urban dwellers seems to be what parks are to suburbanites. A place to hang out, meet a few friends or just chill. I admit I love getting outside when I have the chance, as fresh air and nature can be rather inspiring.

I have been struggling the past few months with writing consistently. When I do have these kinds of moments, putting myself in a different space or atmosphere always seems to help. And, changing where I write also gives me permission to write badly. Sometimes, you just have to get something on the paper. Do the work instead of waiting to be inspired. I know for myself, if I waited to be inspired, I would not write a single word.

Do you have a favorite place you go to when you need to recharge your creative batteries?
