When you read, do you prefer certain settings to other settings? For instance, I'd prefer to read on a rainy afternoon—on a screened-in-patio, surrounding by books and plants and cats and overlooking a backyard filled with trees and flowers—than on the Manhattan subway at rush hour.

Ahh... beautiful gloominess...
Any thunder? A gentle rumble?

Appreciate you.
You probably have some sort of preference about where you like to read. Likewise, you probably have some sort of preference about where you like to write, even if you don't know it yet.
And when you do know what you want, don't take that story or setting for granted. Take a deep breath every time you sit down to write, and think how great it is that you have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy writing in this great place, at this great time. You'll be happier for it!
