I've started something new with my writing. Last week I had an appointment at Toyota to get my car’s oil changed and tires rotated. I knew I would probably be there at least an hour so I decided to bring my iPad along.
I've gotten in the habit of writing a chapter a week on my novel. Thursday is dedicated to writing the rough draft, and because I needed to grocery shop after the appointment, I decided to try writing at Toyota.
It worked beautifully. So on Tuesday of this week when I accompanied Chuck to town to have breakfast with my sister, I decided to try it again.
This time I spent about an hour and a half at the Grapevine Public Library. I was able to get a head start on the next chapter because I knew on Thursday I'd be grocery shopping and doing laundry. Along with getting my rough draft written, I enjoyed the atmosphere of their library.
I have missed hanging out at a big, beautiful library since moving to the country. I stopped to chat with one of the librarians and reminded her not to take her library for granted.
This Thursday I decided to stop by a coffee shop and write for about an hour before running my errands. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and began editing the chapter I had written on Tuesday.
Next Thursday I've got another cool place in mind to do my writing.
Along with writing in different places, I enjoy writing outside when the weather is cooperative. This summer when the boys were at VBS, I sat on the front porch at my daughter’s to write.
I’m going to challenge myself to look for new and unique places to write going forward.
