I value privacy yet a warm body when the door opens is a good thing. I vote for having it both ways, kids.<br /><br />Meanwhile, order out and don't bother me.<br /><br />CharmaineAuthor Charmaine Gordonhttp://authorcharmainegordon.xanga.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342260927032084118.post-53743180616088932142010-06-23T10:25:37.501-07:002010-06-23T10:25:37.501-07:00As many of you have all experienced, working from ...As many of you have all experienced, working from home looks too much like leisure time.

After that, I'm a dead thing. Even though I've told my friends I'm writing, they insist on calling at odd times. I've learned to tell them politely I'll call them back after 3 PM.

I can't bring my laptop, but I write in a notebook when I'm there. The saltwater air and the sound of the waves is very relaxing for me. <br /><br />The kids are grown and know to leave me alone when I'm writing - now I just need a doggie door so I don't have Sandy Nickshttp://www.sandynicks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342260927032084118.post-39346191464231742712010-06-23T08:02:04.669-07:002010-06-23T08:02:04.669-07:00"I need to be able to write where I live.&quo..."I need to be able to write where I live." - that about sums it up.

Nobody questions the trappings of work in a corporate office or the fact that when mom or dad is there, you don't drive over an bother them with stuff.<br /><br />Creating this at home isn't easy because writing tasks often look like goofing off to others.
