The bench pictured above is one of my favorite early morning blogging spots.
It’s about 5 minutes away from my home, located in a small park in Medina, Washington, right on Lake Washington. In the background is Mercer Island.
It’s reasonable quiet, without any car noise; mostly just some lapping of waves on the lake’s shoreline and some morning birds chirping.
But the best part of this spot for me? I’m always inspired to write something here—usually a short blog post, and occasionally some poetry ( but oddly, never fiction or nonfiction).
Having a few secret places like this to write isn’t just good for productivity, it’s good for your heart too!
