Missed the first questions? Click here:
You were given a month away in a cabin to work on writing undisturbed.
- Question a) Is the desired cabin in the mountains, on a lake, in a forest or on a beach?
- Question b) Who would you like to have with you as your writing companion?
Me: WELL. I think I would like a cabin in all of those locations, but if I had to pack up and leave today I’d pick a beach.
I’m not ready for the cold weather; it feels like summer wasn’t really long enough this covid-year, and it wouldn’t take me as long to pack for a beach-side cabin. I could leave within the hour. Ha.
(I would pack: a couple of sun dresses, a light sweater, a bikini, a pair of capris with a tshirt, leggins and a tank top, my nighty and matching robe, toiletries and a few pair of shoes. I was a flight attendant for four years, I can pack this stuff in under 20 minutes.) 🙂
In terms of a companion, I would pick several of you. BUT, I would request some time to myself first. So, come any time after the first week. 😉
Your turn. 🙂
I’d be in the mountains with Margaret Atwood thanks

Ohhhh!! Now you’ve got me daydreaming! My family has a place in the woods on the lake – so that would be my go to. I haven’t been there in years. If I HAD to choose someone it would be my boyfriend, but then I wouldn’t get any work done. I would prefer to be by myself for a while, and then enjoy company.

Cabin on the windward side of Oahu near the Pali, that way I can have a cabin in the mountains, in the forest, overlooking Hanamau Bay.

“Misery” was one of the most misunderstood Rom-Com’s of the 1990s.

aww you’re sweet, I’d dig that. The right kind of people around could become a muse. A cabin near a lake, that would be a meditative atmosphere. The woods would be boring, the mountains too high, the beach too much of a distraction.

In the mountains. Myself with husband and pug nearby but not too near engrossed in walking, so I have my time alone.

Since it’s autumn I go with forest, preferably in Vermont. Companion…no thanks if I have to have a human. (See my answer to relationships) But I would love if the cabin came with it’s own cat. A snuggler preferably.

I guess a companion could be a furry one…I’d love a dog with me but not a puppy…too much hyperactivity. An older, gentle dog would do nicely. 🙂

I will take the mountains, with a cold mountain lake (and fall colours). For a companion…for writing inspiration I would choose a person I did a lot of writing with at university. She was very inspirational. For non writing companionship, my current partner would do nicely.

Yes! Fall colours in that setting sounds exactly perfect.

the beach would be too tempting to go out and enjoy, so I guess a cabin in the woods where it rains every day so that I can concentrate on my writing. I would want my spouse with me…

there is something about a cabin in the woods when it rains…a nice fire, a pot of coffee or tea, some uninterrupted time to contemplate and ponder… 😉

I want a mountain cabin. Ideally, it would be just me during the week, but Tara can come join me on the weekends for drunken revelry.
What I’d pack: A record player, a good selection of rock ‘n roll albums, and my lava lamps. Gotta set the mood, yo.

Sounds like the perfect arrangement.

By a lake. A nearby forest would be a definite bonus.
As for companions, anyone is welcome but not until after the first month (yes, I know).

Mountain cabin, and while I’m not a writer…. if I was? I’m afraid I’d want to be alone with my thoughts.

I’d pick the beach right now too – as long as it comes with sunshine and heat. 🌞
