Smartphone apps, tablets and free public wifi makes blogging more fun and easy to do. When I’m writing a blog post, doing some illustration or need to be inspired the best place for me to go to would be a coffeehouse. Of course I prefer Starbucks. It’s my favorite place because, beside the coffee and atmosphere, it appeals to lots of interesting people: business people, travelers/ tourists, bloggers and fashionistas.
Being in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by gossip girls, travelers sharing their experiences and fellow bloggers… That really enhances my creativity and blogging mood. This could sound odd, but I am more relaxed when I’m surrounded by life, movements, noise and so on.
A lot of my blog posts are written at the coffeehouse/ train, using my iPhone or iPad. For me the only downside of blogging on the go is that I’m not able to really post-process my photographs (still have to update and clean my MacBook). So posts I write/ compose on the go are mostly accompanied with ‘simple’ photographs that don’t need any editing or I just put them in later when I’m at home.
What I use?
- My iPad: writing/ composing posts
- SD-card reader for iPad: to import photos
- iPhoto for iPad: simple photo editing
- WiFi-function on camera: easy photo transfer to iPad and preview photos in camera
What place do you prefer to work, to get inspired or just relax?
