fajrdrako | Environment...

I recently acquired a book about the environment and habits of writers - where they like to write, the kinds of places they write in.

I haven't read it yet, but I came across an interview with Guy Thatcher - whose book A Journey of Days I just finished reading, and it amused me:

Open Book Toronto: Describe your ideal writing environment.
Guy Thatcher:Ideally it would be a calm, peaceful space with books tastefully opened for research (and an assistant to look after me). Actually, it’s a nest of papers, coffee cup, bits and pieces of things that mean something to me, a favourite Calvin and Hobbes cartoon pinned up on the wall - it has to do with change and accepting new challenges, things I haven’t yet figured out what to do with, paper that should be filed but hasn’t been …

I suspect that might describe most writers.
