But with the writing slump I’ve been this past couple of months, I think something more is needed. Something magical. Something JK Rowling and Harry Potter-ish. So of course, as a fan, I’d pick a place or places as King’s Cross Station platform 9 ¾ , Goathland station and village which served as setting for Hogsmeade Station, the hotel room JK Rowling finished writing the seventh and final book The Deathly Hallows and the chair she sat it in to write the entire series.Lidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478463740718742925.post-50737808834762085572019-09-04T21:49:47.163+02:002019-09-04T21:49:47.163+02:00I like your place of choice.

I do like to have a place where distractions are minimized and what there are help me keep the energy for writing (at the moment I can’t find my inspirational posters, so there’s not much there).

That would be good for you, but not my choice. I hate basements. Of course nowadays, people finish them and make lovely living areas and movie theaters. Mine? No, it's damp and depressing. But Europe? Alright! French pastry, German beer, English tea too. Wishing you a productive and satisfying experience in your writing.
