I’ll actually write/blog just about anywhere. If I’m not net-active, I’ll write offline in a word processor. If I only have pen and paper, I’ll do it there. So my vote for Other = “Wherever I happen to be” is my favorite place.

I actually do most of my writing for my blog on the train! I have a one hour commute every day, so I fill the time by writing my blog entries off-line.

My favourite place so far has been at a cafe overlooking the beach on Ko Pha Ngan island in southern Thailand. But I must admit, thats not my every day location :)

Home Office for me. Though if you really saw it, you wouldn’t call it one…

Looking at this list makes me feel really jealous of you guys. I would love to blog in a couch or in the dinning room where I can watch tv and talk with my family or friends or whoever comes by visiting etc. But I don’t have much of a choice, since we have only a desktop computer in the room kept on a difficult table and chair.

On top of it I had to use a slow dial up connection until last month and only now we have a adsl connection but that also has a 1Gb limit per month and a rent of 10$. It’ really a luxury to blog here in 3rd world countries like Sri Lanka.

Cafe – the atmosphere and coffee seem to stimulate my creativity. I write drafts (novel, blog, whatever) on a Palm PDA with wireless fold-up keyboard, then copy to laptop for polishing up at home (kitchen table).

In a cafe you’re effectively renting a workspace – the cost of coffee in return for time at a table. I think this helps motivate me to use the time effectively, instead of wasting it as I often do at home.

My home office is the only place I can blog right now… except when I’m at a place where I can borrow a computer. No laptop.

But I like it too. I have sufficient control over my distractions (ages 2 and 5) and can quit to play with them when I want to. Or I can just prepare my thoughts while they sleep.

When I can, I like to blog in coffee shops, but as I’m without a laptop at the moment, most of it happens at home.

Definitely the home office. I work from home for about half of my work week, so I definitely try to blog as much as I can from where it’s the most comfortable, in my nice big chair.

Like Brad, I also have a nice snowy view outside. When the big defrost comes about I can even have a nice breeze!

Well, if you look at my blog you’ll see all posts are posted at night, almost morning. I do like to write on my desk just at these quiet hours.

Ah, nothing beats my home office. I have everything I need; my computer, plenty of music, a comfortable chair, surrounded by books, a good view outside and it’s plenty far away from the television to prevent distractions!

I do 90% of my blog work from my home office. But lately I have found that working with my notebook one the couch keeps me a little more connected with my family while I’m working.

My laptop is in my bedroom, so I most often blog in my room, sitting on the floor with my dog nearby. Sure, I could carry it downstairs, or I could even sit at my desk, but, well, I LIKE when my dog comes and lies next to me while I work on the computer.

Let me guess, the next question is going to be: What time of day is your favorite time to blog?

I wish I had a portable device to blog from, because for now, I am just blogging from my desk because I have an iMac. I’d love to blog from somewhere else for a change ;-)

I voted for “home office” because that is where I do most blogging but the last week or so has been while watching TV in the evening. I definitely am more productive in the home office as it is much more quiet.

To improve my productivity even more I am going to try blogging in the morning instead of evening as that will give me more time alone.

I’m usually in my home office, with some music playing the background.

I used to sit on the couch in front of the tv, but it was too distracting. I think my writing has improved since I turned the tube off.

I do it at my Home Office because I can get very comfortable there. Sometimes in pijamas and a cup of coffee or cocoa.

Second choice is a quiet café. The vibes from other people may wake up your creativity :-)

At the moment, the home office, because it feels businesslike enough to keep me from wasting time in StumbleUpon and Google Reader all day, but relaxed enough that I don’t feel pressured. (Pressure is rarely good for my writing.)

I’m thinking about trying Panera, Starbucks or someplace similar in the near future, though.

For whatever reason, when I sit down at a bookstore cafe or Panera Bread (props for the free WiFi, PB), I steamroll through writing assignments, incuding blog post. Something about the environment just gets me going. One resolution for me this year is to blog there more often.

In my bedroom or living room. Sometimes at work.

Happy New Year Problogger readers!
