This was part of a quiz about what type of author you would be/ are. I loved this question. Which answer would you pick?
Choose a place to pen your masterpiece.
- A busy train station where you can sip iced coffee while people-watching
- A secret garden full of wonders you’ve never seen before
- A cozy coffee shop interior while gentle rain falls outside on a cold gray day
- Your bedroom—you feel most comfortable there.
Although the train station was high on my list and its my bedroom where I usually do end up writing - a coffee shop on a grey and rainy day was my most preferred place, by far. I love a rainy day and looking out the window while working on something creative with a delicious (still at least warm) coffee is pretty much perfect in my books.

I think the idea that walking through a cemetery is scary is created by the media. In reality, its usually quiet, tends to be damp, among the trees, or windy if there are few trees. I've photographed an old cemetery which was on the edge of a farm field, only one tree. It was very cold and windy. That was perfect atmosphere for a movie. But, they would have needed a story to make it creepy. The reality was just bitterly cold, not scary at all.
I found this post, which included a quote from Loren Rhoads, about travel and exploring cemeteries.
“I look at them as open-air sculpture gardens,” Rhoads said. “There are some places in the world where it’s museum quality, and it’s just there for anyone to visit and take a look.”

Loren has written, "Wish you Were Here" and "199 Cemeteries to See Before you Die". The first is about US cemeteries and the second about cemeteries around the world. Also, her site Cemetery Travel.
You can also find her Cemetery Travels Notebook, for your own exploring and notes, from her Etsy shop, CemeteryLibrarian.
