Where I write
I have a full-time (sometimes more than full-time) job, 2 kids, etc.
I don't know where other people write. I would guess that a lot of writers, like me, take their writing opportunities where they come.
Where I would choose to write: Hotel rooms. I find them very productive and with few distractions. And they have room service.
Where I usually write: On my laptop at the kitchen table.
Best place I've ever written: Ship's library on a cruise ship off Mexico, with dolphins cavorting outside the window. That''s where I finished Flux.
Other places I've written: cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, doctors' and dentists' offices, my office at work, my office at home, planes, trains, kids' gymnastics classes, during kids' slumber party, kids' school, waiting for a spelling bee to begin, sitting on a park bench while husband dirt bikes in the desert, sitting in parked SUV, airports, during meetings (shh! Don't tell anyone!), while my students are taking exams, balconies, in a lighthouse keeper's house, outside the San Francisco Ferry Building, on top of a mountain, 5 US states plus Washington DC, 12 countries.

I love this post, and am tremendously impressed at the variety of writing locations -- as well as your diligence at grabbing time wherever you can.
