My New Office

Posted at 08:30 AM on November 04, 2009

I have mentioned many times that I do my best work away from the house, and Atlanta Bread Company is one of my favorite places to write. They offer free WiFi (which I don't need for my Alphasmart), but it makes the store a hot spot for meetings and studying.

The wooden benches are gone -- replaced by padded booths with a pendant light over each table. The booths also have high backs, which cuts down on distraction, and there is a half-wall separating the seating areas.

I should go out and find a place to write. Then I wouldn't be so distracted at home.

Bella - It's just a slump. You'll come out of it. In the meantime, read everything you can get your hands on like the new Suz Brockmann or the new J.R. Ward releases.

Jennifer - Any of the coffeehouses are good places. Do you have an iPod? You can grab your caffeine, put in your earbuds and you're ready to roll ....
