H asked Gabrielle Squailia:

Where is your favourite place to read and to write (Pick one or two)? Why?

Gabrielle Squailia Over the weekend I took the train to and from the city, and it was the best reading environment I've had in years. Although lounging on my friend's couch while I was waiting for him to wake up and take me to brunch was pretty lovely, too. I have a three-year-old at home, so anywhere that isn't there is amazing, but I'm also lousy at reading when surrounded by my notes and research -- I keep going off the rails and back into my own writing.

For writing, there's no place like my office. It's a small, windowless room, and I've been working in here for so long now that my brain kicks right into gear as soon as I shut the door. I take long walks outside between sessions to keep my brain moving.

Before there was an office, I preferred to write at the library.
