Talk about moving around we live five or six hours from Yellowstone and it seems that this summer that was the destination vacation of choice. Everyone bunked here on the way, I got nothing done, nothing at all. Neil A.

The only sounds are mowing in other yards and birds tweeting, with an occasional car passing. Otherwise I have an office that's all mine. Sometimes I write on my bed. I love quiet, but that's not always possible.

Never the twain shall meet.<br /><br />A laptop is a last resort. I use an ergonomic keyboard with my pc, so the standard one on the laptop creates a multitude of typos.

I really don't need much more space than that.

Hope everything gets fixed in your upstairs space soon and you have a great place in which to work.<br /><br />I have an office that only seconds as a guest room when there is a lot of company and somebody needs floor space to accommodate an air mattress. Otherwise, it is just my writing space. I do not listen to music or television, and sometimes even the whine of the ceiling fan irritates me. :-)Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-8683718606997312422014-08-14T09:22:29.625-06:002014-08-14T09:22:29.625-06:00Yikes!

Here's hoping your writing life gets back to normal soon.<br /><br />Where do I write? In a corner of my bedroom. Because my home doubles as a work area for electronic equipment and a studio, I don't have an option to move my computer anywhere else. Let's hope my roof stays intact!Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056682992943171805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-65125534813971578532014-08-14T07:34:01.350-06:002014-08-14T07:34:01.350-06:00I need quiet, no one bothering me, no radio or tel...I need quiet, no one bothering me, no radio or television, and a recliner with my laptop on my lap. The cats, however, do not respect "the space" and like to "help." But I wouldn't want it any other way. If my space got taken away, I'd probably take a break until I got it fixed. Bad luck on the storm damage, but have fun redecorating.Diana Hurwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216220574149672733noreply@blogger.com
