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.

 

 

 

If you write, you know how important comfort is. The ergonomics of the furniture are a major consideration. Something about the design of the benches and height of the tables at the Fayetteville ABC were perfect for me, but I have also worked at the Morrow and Peachtree City locations where they did a total remodel last year. 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.

  

When my friends in Fayetteville announced that they were closing on Sunday night and reopening on Tuesday morning so they could remodel, I was thrilled.

 

Yesterday I spent three hours at the newly redecorated ABC. They're really going to have a hard time getting rid of me now.

 

This is kind of what the old decor looked like:

 

 

 

 This is the new look.

 

 

 

This booth in the bottom left corner is my new home. Headed out again in about an hour ...

Jealous, girl. I'm still battling a cough, have no interest in writing and really want to do something about my career.

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 ....
