Do you have a favourite reading or writing nook?
Recently I'm trying new places. Like my current writing nook while waiting at my son's football club.
Not a bad view!
Hoping the combo will inspire me π+β½οΈ+π»=πππ

Alt text: Pinkish-beige background with a darker pink heart over the top. Cursive writing over the heart reads βFriday Kiss.β Below that, bullet-point text reads: No prompts: choose any βkissβ from your WIP; Open to writers from any genre; Please use alt text for graphics or images; Use the NSFW tag if needed; Post any time on Friday; Use the #FridayKiss hashtag. At the bottom of the graphic, italicized text reads βNot affiliated with the original FridayKiss community.β
Hello, #WritingCommunity! Do you remember when folks used to post #FridayKiss snippets on the bird app? I'd like to see if we can informally revive that weekly ritual. No prompts; just post a romantic, steamy, or tender moment from your WIP!

Hiding in Hampstead is the lovely Fenton House, a family home full of nooks and crannies, and more than a dozen working antique pianofortes. A talented lady comes and plays on them, so you really feel transported back in time...

Wouldn't this be a lovely place for a writers retreat?
On the northern edge of Hampstead Heath (yes, the haven of highwaymen) lies a London jewel - Kenwood House.
(+ a lovely outdoor cafe, of course βοΈπ°π«)
#kenwoodhouse #hampsteadheath
Quite the payoff
