"You're getting an idea of something to write about, aren't you? I know that faraway look in your eyes, and the telltale sign is reaching for a scrap of paper, a napkin, etc....now I know what it's like to live with a composer or some other kind of artist", Jill said.
Where to write? Answer #1 is: Wherever you are when you get a divine download about something that needs to be shared with others. Steward what God is giving you by making notes to remind. Sometimes it's a phrase or two, or several bullet points. I've stopped on my bike to pull out my phone to type a note, or to record the thoughts. The idea is to make notes that you can use later to more fully develop your thoughts.
Answer #2 - Wherever you are comfortable and most productive. My two favorite and best places are the love-seat in our piano room or the back porch; laptop on my lap, and feet propped up. No one in the room, as quiet as possible, with a view of woods, trees, or some other natural landscape to ponder while sewing thoughts together into paragraphs and paragraphs into pages.
A comfortable and private place lends to the discipline of writing, which is making the choice to put yourself in a position to download or develop divine downloads for others. After all, that is the purpose of writing, the good of others (i.e., inspiration, instruction, equipping, etc.).
How's it going? Where will you write?
