Your Writer's Place

I'm a bit of an odd one here. I don't have a set place to be inspired. My bedroom is also a place I work so inspiration drizzle out when I glance my real-world paperwork. I guess it depends on what I feel at the moment. Usually, when I'm reaching a deadline for a project, my brain also kicks up my inspiration. After a healthy jog in the afternoon and a evening's rest, I find myself refeshed and inspired the next morning to the point of distraction.
I don't usually listen to music since I could get distracted by sound. I'm better at visual stimuli, so I surf for CG pictures. There's just something about other people's 3D artwork that gets my inspiration working. Savinoff's, Kagaya's, Lacoste's or in galleries like TerraEscape and CG Society. Often I download them, print and laminate, in case of a blackout and I can't access the PC... :)

I forget about this question about someone asks it. But it's one of my favorites. :D
I write in my room. My parents got me a writing desk with a few drawers a long time ago and I have pretty much everything around on it. I use the laptop more like a desktop when I'm writing. But on one side, there's the Gobstoppers, CDs and the headphones; on the other side, there's the dictionary, the thesaurus and the flash drive.
The music's usually instrumental, whether classical or techno.
Of all of the stuff, though, it's the swivel chair that really gets me in the mood. I need to roll it around the floor to rejuvenate my thinking. :D

I have a few games on mine for LAN parties. But other than them, it's only for writing. :D

My background picture usually connects to the novel that I'm working on...
I'll give you a link, as I'm subscribing to this thread as those 3D sites look great. :)
Urban exploring websites - http://www.infiltration.org/ have a lot of abandoned places pictures. I think the color ones look cooler than the black and white ones, but they're all pretty useful.
