Yeah, a few different spaces come to mind when I think of ideal writing spaces.

The first is the rather obvious one, I think: a sort-of office, with a nice desk and a lamp, covered in pens and bits of paper and stacks of books. A relatively small space, but with a soft place to sit as well as the desk. Warm, with music playing - but something relatively soft and ambient, depending on what I'm writing. Could be c418 or it could be Joy Division.

The second is the sprawling one, more like an artist's studio, with mess all over the floor - the good kind of mess - and louder music playing, some upbeat indie rock sort of a tune.

The third brings Neil Gaiman's writing shed to mind, but something a bit more sparse. Silence, aside from the sounds of nature. Just a single pen and some paper - no computer or anything.
