I'm sort of infamous among my teachers for using class time to write my stories, poems, and the occasional comic. It's the best place for me. I have no where to go, the class setting bores me, and to look like I'm paying attention I write. Perfect. Where do you guys write?

Where do I write? I do some creative writing, pretty much exclusively at home on my desktop. Usually in the morning after a night of amazing dreams. (I dream just about every night and record several of them).

I think a better quest might have been "do you write?"

I write the best in my head, it becomes more difficult when I have to write my thoughts on paper

Usually in my bed, but I've been known to crank out a couple thousand words pretty much anywhere at any time

In exams, funny enough. If I'm not allowed to walk out after finishing my paper, I start writing on a piece of scrap paper.

Of course though, I can't take the paper out of the exam room.

Proof of my filthy mind. I burst out laughing at "I've been known to crank out a couple" because I noticed he "Anywhere at any time" but neglected to read the "thousand words"
But I have to agree, I write a lot in my bed because I feel secure there, which as iterated above, is where I get most of my writing done.

I actually haven't written in a long time. The last time I wrote creatively was early last year for a school assignment. However, if we are speaking about writing in general, then I tend to write what I think for my assignments, so it isn't "Where do I write best", it's "Where do I think best". That tends to be in obscure or awkward places, like in the middle of a conversation or while walking to the bus or something. The state of mind is normally one where logic-jumps are easy. And don't say you don't know what a logic-jump is, because you've all had them. It's where you are thinking one thing and in an obscure relation you jump to a different topic, except most of my good ideas tend to involve a few logic jumps in rapid succession, leaving me somewhere in almost-unknown territory, which is great. The new topical setting means my thoughts kind of poke and prod out the specifics and details of the topic, so I get a personal grasp of the concept (making it a billion times easier to write about seeing as it is 'my idea' rather than regurgitating someone else's).

He was assuming that if you responded, you wrote, as to assume otherwise is a bit asinine...

I usually write at home on my couch. Sprawled out, with my laptop on my lap and my home theater system blaring some music, or a random movie.

I have been known to crank out a paper at a fast food joint like Burger King, but usually at home...

In the middle of a lesson (but that is not so much the case nowadays) or in my kitchen. I just write.

Sometimes I'll come up with something cool while on a walk, but forget it before I get the chance to write it down.

Burger King eh? I've never heard that one before.

On the couch, with my laptop. That, or during exams. One of the two.

I used to do it in class too. I had to repeat my final year of high school due to illness, so I'd already done most of the work and gotten great marks in most of the assessments the year before, so there wasn't much else for me to do.

Outside of that, if I'm finding myself stuck on something, be it an essay or fiction I write for fun, I sometimes like to go out somewhere nice like a park or somewhere sunny and bring a notebook with me. I can flesh out all the details later when I'm at home, but I find that I get my best ideas when I'm around people, but I do my best work (in terms of volume of words written) at home on my laptop.

I freely admit to having all sorts of plans for stories I'd like to write or give to someone else to work on in the future. I don't think I'm ever going to become a published author or anything (I'm really not that good) but it's a neat hobby. And I am transferring into a media course so it can't hurt to practice skills I'll have to use if I take screenwriting in the future.

I'm actually like the OP, I do best in class. I write best when I'm bored, because that's when my imagination is firing off random stuff in a bold but ineffective attempt to interest me. Of course, since my attention is being fought over during class, the stuff I write usually needs to be heavily edited, but the core material tends to be better.

I sadly can't write in public because I have a fear of ninja's swooping down, look at what i'm writing, and then go and copy my idea. (damn ninja's)

currently in order to combat the ninja's I usually write with my back to a wall where i can see everything so no damn ninja's can steal my ideas. my mom refers to it as the "writers corner" and that's usually where I write everything.

I write on my computer at home, either with a playlist on, or the radio. I find it easier and calming, as long as no one is watching what I'm doing.
Sometimes I will write on another computer, like at school but they tend to be annoying which can break my flow of thoughts, like now the spacebar is a bit fucked and has to be pressed in the middle.
I actually find it really difficult to write on paper, but I do brainstorm on paper instead of revising for a pyschology exam when my parents banned me from my computer.

For mentally writing, anywhere, and I mean anywhere. Lessons, when I'm walking to and from school, car journeys, shower. I'll come up with an idea and keep replaying it, tweaking it until I get to a computer to type it up.
