Some writers can work in noisy coffee shops, in front of the TV, or while listening to a curated soundtrack specific to their work-in-progress, but not me. I need quiet and a room of my own. But sitting at my desk for hours at a time isn’t healthy, so, particularly at this time of year, I step outside.
Warm sun on my face, fresh air in my lungs, and beauty all around refills my creative well.
I draw inspiration from the sights and sounds and smells of the ocean.
Woodland hikes, often with a surprise or two, suggest other details to add to a story.
Just ten minutes down the road is inspiration of the urban kind. The heroine in my next release plans to buy the house she has loved for years.
She especially loves this front door.
After an invigorating hike, or a day of arduous plotting, there’s no better way to unwind than a cool beverage with a relaxing view.
Or I can end the day in my own backyard.

Luanna, what a gorgeous place to live. I might be able to write outside but most likely would spend my time looking around when I heard a bird call or felt a breeze, you know to marvel at the wave of grass, leaves or flowers. Thank you for sharing your world.
And, I'd buy that house also if I had someone to keep it clean and do the upkeep!
Love where your inspiration comes from. And the photos inspire me from afar. Nothing like a water view as inspiration.
