Or perhaps, where you want to write.
This really caught my attention in a recent Neil Gaiman interview that I'm reading.
I read the part in bold (not the "Phantastick-Couch" and not "Neil Gaiman," the other part in bold; try to keep up) and I was flabbergasted. What a GREAT idea! It combines my love of water with my love of boats, with my writing.
So suddenly, I think this is the greatest idea in the world, which means if I DID do it, I probably wouldn't get a novel written. I'd do all sorts of other stuff.
I get pages and pages written on grotty Greyhound bus trips, and very little written on clean, comfy, enjoyable airplane flights.
What about you. when you're not at home, what gets you writing, and what stops you writing? And where do you fantasize about writing, even if it's outlandish (like the Merchant ship idea)?

Phantastik-Couch: Do you like writing in other places than home?
Neil Gaiman: Yes, if it’s places I haven’t been to. I like writing at places where it’s slightly uncomfortable for me. Like in a place where you don’t want to really go to, in a hotel that’s not too nice. Because if it’s too nice, you’re enjoying the hotel instead of writing. One of the things I always fantasize about is writing on one of those big merchant ships, most of them have one passenger cabin. Just going on one of those ships, signing up for a four-month journey, sit in the cabin and write a novel. I just love that idea, before I die I want to do that.
