I've made up a cozy spot in the front room where I can write while wrapped up in a quilt. That and a pot of tea will have to suffice until the temperature warms up enough for me to retreat to the porch. :)the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-2714002486037525742013-03-24T11:04:42.068-04:002013-03-24T11:04:42.068-04:00People watching is one of the best aspects of writ...People watching is one of the best aspects of writing in a public spot.

I was surprised at myself, though -- I've always had to juggle family and housework with the writing, so taking an entire weekend to do nothing but write seemed very strange. Loved every minute of it, too. :)the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-44852052259184809692013-03-24T10:57:53.697-04:002013-03-24T10:57:53.697-04:00Much luck with your camping experiences ahead -- I...Much luck with your camping experiences ahead -- I think it's marvelous that you'll be taking virtual and real-life versions (and remember to pack the insect repellent for the second!)the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220786472896283714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-14131942311949648632013-03-22T08:22:26.580-04:002013-03-22T08:22:26.580-04:00I love this idea.

And a year ago yesterday here? It was 81! grrrrrrr Michigan.<br /><br />But it makes for a wonderful place to write when the weather is warm and nice. That's just not often enough so it's my den with chair under the handle in the winter for me.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-15757682977138163282013-03-21T14:12:54.327-04:002013-03-21T14:12:54.327-04:00My favorite place to go write is Panera (a restaur...My favorite place to go write is Panera (a restaurant/coffe shop). There are three within 10 miles of my house with varying levels of busy-ness. I can go and surreptitiously people-watch at the one which is normally very busy, or have a whole section to myself at the quieter one. I really need to get back into the habit of going. Writing my Panera Reports was a fun addition to my blog.fionaphoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717420581711420473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-50503882083546764152013-03-21T12:21:12.438-04:002013-03-21T12:21:12.438-04:00My friends and I are doing Camp Nano.

This Camp is going to be a great way to give us all a shared focus. Plus, we're planning a virtual smores roast. Wheeeeeee! <br /><br />I have a question for you. I know that in the past, you've been kind enough to post Way of the Cheetah for free during Nano. I would love to share that book with my friends during Camp Nano. It's helped me tremendously. Would you consider letting me send them a copy or perhaps post it again for Camp Nano?

I thought it was way too precious for me. (Because when I write, I am not a delicate snowflake.)<br /><br />I went anyway, and I'm so glad I did! I met ten new writers, got a lot of work done, and felt great about the weekend.Margaret Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464624057491288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-83310450080008249562013-03-21T08:59:02.932-04:002013-03-21T08:59:02.932-04:00I plan to take advantage of Camp NaNoWriMo this ye...I plan to take advantage of Camp NaNoWriMo this year. I don't have the opportunity to take time off from my day job so it will be nice to put aside some time at home just for me. I plan to finish the novel I began during November's NaNoWriMo. Thank you for posting other suggestions as well. My twin sister and I have been tossing around an idea of packing up my 4 man tent and head somewhere (local) to camp out and just spend a couple of days doing nothing but writing and eating hotdogs. No children, no husbands, no pets, just us and our WIP. :)Angela Hood-Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17985240493993599473noreply@blogger.com
