A room of one's own

So here's what I did today. I rented myself some office space. Sara said I could rent right next door to her AND I PROMISE NOT TO BUG HER. Sort of. She in turn promises NOT TO LET ME HAVE THE WI-FI PASSWORD to the chez so I will write when I'm there instead of getting online and reading crap about Brad and Angelina.

Anyway. I'm excited. I have a room here at the house, but I am too easily diverted by the jobs I have when I'm home. I love being able to open a door, step inside an office . . . and walk inside my own head. I rented an office to finish my first book CAL CAMERON (written shortly after man discovered fire). I also rented an office to finish up CHARLOTTE'S ROSE. Hopefully, I can be productive.

On the eating front: it was just hog American roadside diner heaven yesterday. If you haven't been to Maddox, go. It's a slice of history on highway 89. I had a filet mignon done medium rare, a baked potato soaked in butter and sour cream, corn on the cob and cornbread with raspberry butter. And because I was feeling fancy, I started it all off with a seafood cocktail.

I love America.

That is all.

Everything about this post pleases me:

1. your office space.
2. your menu.
3. especially the seafood cocktail.

Well played, Ms. Cannon. Well played.

I love the book and love the idea. Cobwebs I never cared about are always an urgent problem if I have a deadline. And no wifi, even better. You'll just have to go out into the street to talk to people.

I read Cal Cameron to my seventh graders shortly after you published it. I loved it; they loved it; and then we returned to our science project: inventing the wheel.

PS Sometimes I sign in with my "educator's" blog and sometimes I use my personal blog, but I'm one in the same - a person you don't know! : )
