Where does writing really happen? On my monthly contribution to The Writers’ Vineyard, I share a few thoughts that came to me by a warm fire on a chilly January evening.

Over the years, I’ve written scenes, chapters, even whole drafts at all of these places:

• A favorite coffee shop
• Outside under a tree
• A friend’s garage
• A busy dive bar, near the dart boards

• My car, scratching on any paper I can find in the faint dome light
• The breakfast table
• My office
• Someone else’s office
• The rocking chair next to my fireplace
