OK, I've actually been making progress on my books and I think that it's because of the atmosphere. I enjoy a good cigar from time to time and what better way to enjoy a cigar than with a nice glass of Chevas Regal scotch right? Well my local cigar shop has a wonderful sitting area where they encourage people to stop and enjoy a cigar. They also allow us to bring in a beverage of choice. The wonderful owners have also encouraged me to bring in my laptop and work on my books in progress. It's a very friendly group who gather here which is both a good and bad thing. Good because it's a diverse group of people who are great to talk to. Bad because I tend to talk instead of writing. But it's worth it. I have a nice warm place to have my cigar, sip my scotch and work on the books.

Though I now tend to smoke more cigars than I had in the past because there's no smoking in my house. In the summer I spend that time out by my pool doing pretty much the same thing but since I live in the New England area and I can't stand the cold I just can't seem to motivate myself write. Now I sit in comfort with my laptop and even though I don't write non-stop I'm making progress on my books.

What about you? Do you have a particular environment that you feel is condusive to writing?
