Where\u2019s your favorite place to write?<\/p>\n

Does your writing space<\/a> help you be productive and stay organized?<\/p>\n

If you need some inspiration, check out the writing spaces and environments of these famous artists, writers and storytellers.<\/p>\n

1. E.B. White, author<\/b><\/h2>\n

Sometimes all you need is a comfortable desk with a view of the outdoors for inspiration. (Ideally, near a farm with plenty of interesting animals, including a few spiders.)<\/p>\n

2. Jane Austen, author<\/b><\/h2>\n

This table may be tiny, but it supported the creation of her later works, including Emma<\/i>, Persuasion<\/i>, and a revision of Pride and Prejudice<\/i>.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re struggling to write, sometimes taking a break can help get your creative juices flowing. Perhaps a game of pool would inspire some ideas?<\/p>\n

4. Nigella Lawson, chef and food writer<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re looking for inspiration, having all your favorite books within arm\u2019s reach certainly can\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n

5. Steve Jobs, inventor<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jobs was well-known minimalist. He described one home by saying, \u201cAll you needed was a cup of tea, a light, and your stereo.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. Virginia Woolf, author<\/b><\/h2>\n

This simple desk and chair overlooking the outdoors were ideal for writing, at least in the summer. Woolf noted<\/a> that this converted toolshed was so cold in the winter that she couldn\u2019t hold a pen!<\/p>\n

7. Tina Fey, author and comedian<\/b><\/h2>\n

Were you wondering about the workspace that may have inspired 30 Rock<\/i>, Mean Girls<\/i> or Bossypants<\/i>?<\/p>\n

8. Chip Kidd, book cover designer<\/b><\/h2>\n

Many artists find their creative inspiration in other books, authors and stories.<\/p>\n

9. George Bernard Shaw, playwright<\/b><\/h2>\n

Keep it simple with a typewriter, a clean white desk and a small window in a private place. That last one was key for Shaw, who once confessed<\/a>, “People bother me. I came here to hide from them.”<\/p>\n
