I used to write outside on occasion when I lived in my apartment. The apartment complex was built around a lake with a lighted fountain in the middle, so it was pretty at night. I would sometimes go write on my patio on late summer nights, if the mosquitoes weren't too bad LOL. I haven't done that as much since moving into my house because my neighbors' houses are really close, and I can't write if I feel like someone's watching me.

So I had to fend for myself and make up stories with my Littlest Pet Shops, so thanks for forcing me to be creative, haha. However, being a child, I did not articulate this well and described it as "My Daddy hides in the closet when I want him to play with me." lmao

LOL!!
Are you an only child?
I used to make up stories with my toys too, especially Barbies and American Girl dolls. I would also direct my sister and the neighbor kids in acting out my little stories. We called it "making movies," although we never filmed them - it was just endless "rehearsal" LOL. But looking back, that was the beginning of my fiction "writing," even though it was all made up on the spot and never written down.

I haven't written outside yet because it's hard enough trying to look at my phone while wearing sunglasses, I can't imagine typing for hours in the sun while listening to trains whiz by, haha. But my husband likes to sit outside in the summer, so maybe I'll sit with him this spring and do some writing.
That lake/fountain set up sounds beautiful!

Yup, it's just me. Only child of divorced parents. That's probably part of why "THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" speaks to me so much, haha.
I also loved to "make movies," but my friends hated the endless "rehearsal." It had to be just right! I think we all just had stories in our hearts that wanted out.

Someone has subscribed to me on AO3, but it doesn't tell me who. I wish they would just review if they've decided that I'm worthy of an author subscription. The dynamics of that place are so odd. Alas, if only efiction wasn't so wonky. I'd rather just hang out here with my family.
Also, can we play Binog again?

It was me who subscribed :)

I don't think I've ever written outside during daylight for the same reason. (And also because I'm a creature of the night - the sunlight, it burns!) I used to only go outside to write at like 2 a.m. when all the neighbors were asleep LOL.
The lake/fountain was honestly really pretentious, and the apartment complex would brag about it and use it as their excuse to raise the rent every year. "But... our majestic fountain!" I'm glad I don't live there anymore, although I do miss the duck friends I made there LOL. I had a trio of ducks who would walk right up onto my patio, knock on my sliding glass door with their bills, and eat out of my hand. They were so cute!

Aww, that makes sense. You're like AJ!
LOL That was my friends and me too. Most of the neighbor kids I played with in the summer or after school were younger than me, so I was super bossy and told everyone what to do and say.
