cool blog alert

  • About the author EB

Some of you have undoubtedly seen it already, but I wanted to share one of my favorite new blogs: Write Place Write Time, started by the lovely Liberty of River Run Bookstore in New Hampshire, features writers on their writing spaces. For two years I did all of my writing on my living room couch, now I write at my kitchen table or at the Van Leeuwen ice cream/coffee shop, and I’m amazed at how different it feels. That’s why I love this blog—I love imagining how a writer’s space influenced their writing.

Sean Ferrell, author of Numb and my favorite person to run into in Park Slope with his son who is unnecessarily suspicious of me, writes on the subway, and I find that inspiring.

“When I found myself on the train—with such a long commute, and the realization that I had to make-it-work or figure out how I would tell my son that I always wanted to be a writer but there’s just too much good stuff on YouTube—I started getting the words in the right order. I cherish my commute.”
