"Place is majorly important," says Susan Minot, author of the award-winning novel Monkeys. Some writers, like Minot, find it necessary to travel and see different parts of the world in order to work. Others, like Natalie Goldberg and William Styron, work best in remote areas and small rooms, preferably without windows. This, of course, is part of the the beauty of writing—it can be done almost anywhere. Watch Susan Minot, Natalie Goldberg, and William Styron's widow, Rose, discuss the impact that place has on the writing life. Their stories reveal that there are as many great places to write as there are writers who use them.
