The Importance of Writing Environment

I began this article beneath the warmth of the morning sun. It evolved from a single moment staring blankly ahead at my page that suddenly gave way to one in which my interest had been strangely piqued. And I understood where my inspiration would be leading me today.

Where you write, when you write, it's all equivocal in determining how you write.

I suppose had I been sitting in a coffee shop I may have had my mind focused on the world and the people around me. Observing life from altered perceptions and reacting accordingly to my own imagination. Rather, I chose instead to indulge in only the warmth and the sincerity of my surroundings. It was peaceful there where I could escape into my mind; inspiration still flowing beautifully and yet the current was pulling me in a different direction.

Writing environment is crucial to successfully evoking the intended emotions of writers. Regardless of what you are writing about, where you write it as well as what you are surrounded by has a significant impact on your work, your flow of inspiration and your chosen words.

This must stand to reason that experimenting with varying types of writing environments could thereby improve ones writing skills, wouldn't you think? Ah, yes.

When you write, you do not let your imagination remain contained beneath boundaries on the page. You do not allow your emotions to remain cages and so it is inconceivable as to why a writer would allow their bodies to remain still in routine either.

Write from a coffee shop, sit on the porch in the rain and write a romance novel, journey to the woods and write a suspense novel or write a children's story from the city park. Each and every one of these situations and occasions allow the freedom and the opportunity to open your mind to varying environments, actions, scenes and inspirations.

"Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals."

It's all relevant.
