Finding a personal sanctuary is crucial for every mother. Whether it’s the tranquility of a spa or the bustling atmosphere of a Target, every mom has her preferred escape. For author Bella Knott, that sanctuary turned out to be a tire shop named Tires, Tires, Tires.
As a writer and a busy mom, Knott found herself grappling with a bout of writer’s block while working on her latest novel. Determined to break through, she ventured to Tires, Tires, Tires for a much-needed tire replacement. To her astonishment, the cozy waiting area allowed her to unleash her creativity, resulting in an impressive 5,000 words. “I was flabbergasted,” Knott shared on her blog. “The staff was friendly, there was complimentary coffee that was surprisingly good, and I even had access to free cookies. It was like finding my creative haven!”
For moms like Knott, who often seek quiet moments amidst the chaos of parenting, this story resonates deeply. The struggle to carve out time for oneself can be overwhelming, especially when even bathroom breaks are rarely uninterrupted.
Eager to maintain her newfound creative environment, Knott returned to the tire shop repeatedly, even volunteering to take the cars of friends and family in for services. “So what if an oil change took longer than expected? I was writing!” she noted, humorously reflecting on her commitment to her craft. However, as her circle of friends dwindled, she worried about exhausting her options. Luckily, the team at Tires, Tires, Tires caught on to her routine and warmly welcomed her back whenever she needed a writing session.
In a delightful twist, the shop’s management even designated her as their official “writer in residence.” Knott joked, “They rolled out the red carpet for me. It was like being J.K. Rowling entering her favorite café after the Harry Potter series!”
To top it all off, the cover shoot for her romantic novel, Love in the Waiting Room, took place right there in the tire shop. The book is inspired by her experiences, highlighting the quirky yet heartwarming journey she embarked upon in her tire shop sanctuary. “This isn’t a publicity stunt, just a sweet story about finding joy in unexpected places,” she explained.
For anyone seeking moments of levity amid life’s challenges, Knott’s story serves as a reminder to appreciate the little things. “I just wanted to share how I found my writing groove in an unconventional setting,” she said. With so much negativity in the world, sometimes we need to take a moment to laugh at the absurdities of life.
