There is an interesting piece at chroniclevitae about creating a space for writing, and continued at #whereiwrite. I have a great home study, which is where I do most of my writing – this is a picture of the last but one home study, and with the old PC, at the moment I completed The Birth of Territory in 2012. 
In recent years I’ve done more and more while away, on a laptop in libraries, shared offices, open offices, or flats and hotel rooms. The biggest problem I have when doing this is the frustration of knowing I could resolve a reference query with a book that is on the other side of the room on the other side of the world… And I do miss having two monitor screens: I make more notes on paper when using a laptop. This is today, as I’m working on Foucault’s Last Decade: 
I’m getting better at working this way. I still need it to be fairly tidy though, or at least, as the first picture shows, everything there is needed at that very time. I can’t imagine doing anything creative in a place like this. Alternatively, you could take your writing on the train, with Amtrak’s writers in residence scheme. Though recently I’ve been doing a lot of writing in this marvellous room in the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne:

Martin Heidegger’s 1934–1935 lectures on Friedrich Hölderlin’s hymns “Germania” and “The Rhine” are considered the most significant among Heidegger’s lectures on Hölderlin. Coming at a crucial time in his career, the text illustrates Heidegger’s turn toward language, art, and poetry while reflecting his despair at his failure to revolutionize the German university and his hope for a more profound revolution through the German language, guided by Hölderlin’s poetry. These lectures are important for understanding Heidegger’s changing relation to politics, his turn toward Nietzsche, his thinking about the German language, and his breakthrough to a new kind of poetic thinking. First published in 1980 as volume 39 of Heidegger’s Complete Works, this graceful and rigorous English-language translation will be widely discussed in continental philosophy and literary theory.
