Writing can happen anywhere, and sometimes the strangest places can provide unexpected inspiration and focus. Here are the top three of the strangest places where new writers have been known to write. Try one!
1. Cemeteries
The solitude of cemeteries is typically very quiet and can offer a peaceful environment free from interruptions.
The atmosphere can be profoundly reflective and contemplative, potentially inspiring deeper, more introspective writing.
Being surrounded by a historical context can spark ideas and provide a sense of perspective.
2. Bathrooms
Bathrooms offer a private space where you’re unlikely to be disturbed.
Limited distractions of the environment can help you focus better.
Many people have their best ideas in the shower or bath, so it makes sense to keep a notebook handy but dry.
3. Closets or Under Stairs
Writing in a closet or the small space under stairs can create a sense of isolation, helping you focus solely on your writing.
These small, enclosed spaces can feel snug and secure, fostering a unique creative environment.
The novelty of writing in an unconventional space can make the experience more fun and engaging.
These also ran…
Public transport, such as trains, buses, and subways offer a moving environment that can be surprisingly productive.
Parks or Nature Reserves, although not terribly strange, writing outdoors, especially in more remote or unusual natural settings, can provide the fresh air of inspiration.
Abandoned buildings, with an eerie and historical atmosphere, can spark the imagination and provide a unique backdrop for writing, especially for certain genres.
Last Words
Writing in unconventional places can break the monotony of your usual routine and/or inspire creativity in new and unexpected ways. Whether it’s the reflective quiet of a cemetery, the privacy of a bathroom, or the isolation of a small closet, experimenting with different environments can lead to new and exciting writing experiences.
