They have nothing to do with you, so they don't sit there nagging at you to deal with them like the unpaid bill or the trip you need directions for or the laundry/cleaning/cooking you mentioned. <br /><br />I hate writing with music or TV on, but if I'm at a coffee shop, I listen to movie soundtracks, and I can tune everything out and get tons done. :)Natalie J.

The county made budget cuts but our small community raised over a million dollars to make it happen. I hope there is room to sit and work there. The had no working areas and only a few seat to sit and read. But like you, Haliene, I do lots of my writing late at night.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-7451956579415554342010-07-06T11:56:30.501-04:002010-07-06T11:56:30.501-04:00I've never tried working at a Borders (the clo...I've never tried working at a Borders (the closest one to me is two hours away) but I can't imagine I would have much luck there...too much people watching. I tried the local library one afternoon and while the lack of internet helped, the people watching got me in trouble.<br /><br />I seem to do my best work late at night when everyone else (people and dogs and cats) in the house is fast asleep.<br /><br />Congratulations on the fourth book.M.J.

And I haven't seen any chickens, Ava, yet.<br />I like TV or music when I'm at home, Jemi, but something about being in the bookstore coffee shop just inspires me.Susan Gourley/Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669793865290876168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556528429571644528.post-7806962544866256972010-07-05T15:31:24.916-04:002010-07-05T15:31:24.916-04:00I'm not a write-at-the-coffee-house type.

Was that a chicken?<br /><br />Congrats on the fourth book, Sue!

I think I'd be too nosy to write in public - too much going on to watch :)<br /><br />I always have the tv or music on so distractions at home don't bother me much.Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.com
