Winter is here and with it all the challenges it brings, one of them being how to stay warm and still be active as a writer. You could write in bed, but for many people, this is detrimental to their output and creativity. Due to this, I’ve compiled a list of places where a writer can chip away at their word count and still be warm.   

The Library

Free Wi-Fi, helpful staff, books to read for reference and pleasure along with with free heating, it makes it the perfect place to write away the hours.

Your Local Hangout

If you have a favourite bakery, diner, or coffee shop, order a drink that will stand long and camp out for the day. While it might not have the quiet of the library or free Wi-Fi, it has conversations you can eavesdrop on, people to watch and get inspired by.

Pancake Parlour

At Pancake Parlour ordering a black unfiltered coffee will allow you get free refills and allow you to stay long into the night. The downside is it’s loud and the temptation to buy pancakes is ever present because of the smell of maple syrup in the air.

That’s my list. If you can think of anything to add, pop the information into the comments below.
