Where do you get your best writing done?

Well it’s not just only one place in particular. I mostly have only blogged at home, in my bedroom but from time to time, I have blogged elsewhere. Like in a cafe or two while enjoying a nice frappe and maybe a sandwich or a muffin. It’s great to enjoy while writing up a post. Also sitting in a cafe watching people enjoy their cups, seeing the baristas going about their job and looking out at the people and cars outside can inspire you. Or atleast it’s relaxing.

However, as I mentioned, I mostly have blogged just at home. Now on quite a few occasions I have ordered myself a large frappe (or Venti if it’s from Starbucks) and had it delivered at home (usually in the evening at around 5pm) and while I sipped that, blogged 1 or 2 posts. They help!

And yes on a couple of staycations I have stayed in a hotel room and also blogged. That is so relaxing as well. I thoroughly enjoy drinking a couple of beers while writing.
