In response to the question: where do you write?
Most of my inspiration comes to me in class, to be completely honest, which would be fine if I was in a writing style class, but usually, I am not. In fact, I would go as far as to say that I am completely horrible at picking times to write. I have poetry in the back of my math binder, a full fledged short story in the back of my economics notebooks, and countless other story beginnings scattered throughout other notebooks where my ideas land so I can stop obsessing over them for the rest of class.
As to where I like to actually sit down and write, the answer happens to be my room. My room is very comfortable, and I can take my laptop and start typing for however long I need to. There is no place quite as comfortable or care-free as my room, and I feel like I can sit down and concentrate on what I want to do. This is where my stories extrapolate into universes of disproportional sizes, sci-fi galaxies to small towns on the oceans edge back in the 1800s. Characters emerge, and I have to prewrite and get everything down and organize who is where in the story at what time, and why it matters, and remember to eat because there is no food in my room and I will otherwise forget.
Sometimes it's nice to go outside and write freehand on paper, and just look at the sky and draw inspiration from my little world. Sometimes I write description, sometimes I write poetry, sometimes I work on my stories.
It all depends on my mood.
