That looks very cool!
Oh hey, guess what?! Until I can move out and get my own apartment, I found a place to write that doesn't hold any distractions for me! Yesterday afternoon I was having trouble concentrating on one of my stories, even though I was the only one home. So I decided to go over to this restaurant that my friends and I always go to after church Sunday and Wednesday evenings. We know the owners very well and they are Christians, and they have free wireless. So, I got there around 4pm (I ended up not going to church that evening), and even though I was still chatting on IM and doing other stuff online, I got a good bit done on my story. I was so happy!
that's fantastic! *YAY* I know that m'lord Batson uses the quiet/study room at the library where he is but here where I am no one pays any attention to the 'do no talk' signs in the quiet room. It's louder than any other part of the library :(
Hehe - I think the library would be too quiet for me, honestly...
It works at this restuarant. I'll just hide in the back corner and keep my back to the door, and they leave me alone (except to refill my water glass...)
Beautiful handmade Art. May your dreams come true.
