What Writing in Public Looks Like

Today I’m sharing a short post that gives you a behind the scenes view of what my writing space looks like. Even though I can write in comfy spaces at home, like my easy chair, my bed or on my back patio, a lot of times I’m more inspired when I’m outside of my house.

As a writer I enjoy the freedom of being able to do my work anywhere. Ideally, I need a stable internet connection and good coffee, but I can write without the internet, it’s just nowhere near as fun without streaming my favorite Spotify playlists.

Although I use my laptop to write 95% of the time, some days I just want to whip out my pen and fun superhero penis notebook my friend gifted me 🙂 and write pen and paper style.

No matter the way I choose to write, it’s always interesting to say the least to write steamy romance novels in public. I realize most people aren’t looking over my shoulder as I type or scribble in my notebook, but it’s always a fear of mine as I peck away on my laptop that some curious little one may pass by while I’m in Panera, a local coffee shop, or the library and get a glance at the words on my screen.

And yet…after more than a decade of writing in public, the above described scenario still hasn’t happened, so I’m probably just letting my imagination run away with me.

If you write or create, I’d love to hear about the space where you do your best work! Share with me in the comments 🙂
