Since last November, this has been one of my favorite spots for early morning reading and writing- or writing any time I don't want to risk the myriad distractions in my room:
It's pretty much my favorite chair in the whole house: big enough to kind of curl up in if I want and just the right balance between comfy and firm, the latter being essential for writing. (It's weird, but the comfier the chair, the harder it is to actually write anything.)
Outside is another of my favorite places to read or write, especially the latter.
Getting out of the house and away from most of my distractions can really help me focus on my writing, even if I don't go any further than my back deck. Breezy, cool days are the absolute best, especially when there's a storm moving in. There's this feeling in the air of Something About To Happen and it's so inspiring- more inspiring than sunshine, believe it or not. If I can, I'll stay out until there's no doubt that the rain's actually here.
Once the rain arrives, though, it's time to move inside- assuming I don't decide to ditch the book and notebook and go for a walk. (I love walking in the rain, possibly more than I like walking on sunny days.) If it's a proper storm with lightning and thunder, though, the best place to be is, of course, curled up in bed with a good book. (Or on the bed, if I've already made my bed and don't feel like undoing it. Which is pretty much anytime between breakfast and bedtime.) Alternately, I'll move to the aforementioned chair or my desk to write some more. The chair is more convenient, though I do like my desk. It's awesome, though a mess. Picture for proof:

Despite the comforts of my favorite chair, my desk is probably my favorite writing spot in the house. It's quiet- with the exception of my writing music- and safe within the privacy of my room, with books and notebooks close at hand for reference if I need them or if I need a break.
