People need a place to think, their own “thinking-spot.”
Here’s one of my thinking-spots, about a ten-minute drive from my home, on the shores of Lake Washington, in a city called Kirkland. (It’s not my best thinking-spot—I want to keep that one a secret!)
It has all of my favorite thinking-spot criteria:
- Closeness
- Water (visual)
- Water (audio)
- Water (smell)
- A place to sit
- Few people
- Good parking
- All-season availability
I go there about once a week.
All writers need thinking-spots. All husbands need thinking-spots. All thinkers need thinking-spots.
Everyone needs thinking-spots.
