I just returned from a brief trip to
Europe and it was my first time in a really long time I wrote anything away
from my desk. I had forgotten how wonderful it is to write in a
completely new place or to revisit a favorite writing spot.
For me, just stepping into a new
writing environment adds a dose of freshness to my thoughts and
perspective. It's kind of exciting. My sense of observation kicks
into high gear and well the other senses do, too. Whether I'm working on
an existing project or something new, I believe the writing benefits.

Have you tried writing outside of your
usual writing zone? Do you have a favorite spot outside of your
"office" to write? If so, please share in the comments
below. If not, give it a try. The new location doesn't have to be
far from home or extravagant, it only needs to be different than your regular
place. It can even be another room of your house—or literally outside, in
your backyard or balcony. Maybe this is the type of change-up you need once in a while, too.
