6/24 WIP Tip: Location, Location, Location
One problem I have with writing is occasional apathy toward my working environment. In other words, I sometimes need variety where I write.
If you’re blocked, your words stagnant, your energy on your WIP waning, try writing in a different venue. Coffee shops are only one option. Try a library, park or shaded table on a patio outside. City parks are inspirational at times as are quiet restaurants (during the afternoon, several small restaurants in my town are ghost towns), a different room in your house or even a friend’s house. Maybe you and a writing friend can meet at your place one day, her place the next.
Don’t let your writing suffer because your surroundings don’t inspire you. Keep looking…a writer’s work is never done!

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)
