Taking Your Writing Outside

It would be great to just look outside and see a beautiful day, so you pick up your things and take them outside to write.

Problem? Some things to consider before you do:
1. Be sure you have internet if you need it
2. Is your battery charged? If not, make sure you are close to an outlet.
3. Do you like it hot? Find shade or dappled shade to write in--good for you, good for your computer.
4. Find comfortable chairs to sit in. You can sit on the lawn, but realize small friends live there and will see you as the new playground.
5. Dust, bugs, and pollen also loves the great outdoors, so bring a cloth to keep your computer screen clean (and maybe bug spray for yourself)
6. Make sure you are close enough to a bathroom that you can lug your stuff back and forth without too much bother.
7. Have a sweatshirt or sweater on hand if the breeze picks up.

Writing outside is one of those things that looks great but takes time to look effortless. Recently, Mystery Girl and I wrote on her deck and it was a great experience--but we also had all of the bases covered.
