Plus, of course, there's the fact that I can't do anything about that pile of laundry and won't have to answer the phone or the door to well meaning but essentially non-writing friends who see my presence in the house as the perfect reason to call by to chew the fat. Somebody else brews and fetches the tea when I need it, and I am there with a single purpose, which helps to focus the fingers on the keyboard. Plus, whatever else I do that day I feel as though I've been out amongst other people, even if I don't talk to them! Oh, but the library sounds nice...Kathnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-30886527663897989622010-12-06T16:04:20.584+00:002010-12-06T16:04:20.584+00:00Excellent post, Caroline - and what a fab idea - t...Excellent post, Caroline - and what a fab idea - the reading room in the BL sounds lovely, I wish it was round MY corner too!Debs Ricciohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837598374947020855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-29720369476780420582010-12-06T12:25:47.238+00:002010-12-06T12:25:47.238+00:00Now that is sooooo true, Caroline.

Local cafes with free broadband tend to do the trick. Sadly, even though I live in London, i've never made it to the BL. Research for a few book chapters coming might just draw me to it. I'd certainly want to give it a try.Sonya Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07566514661412749929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-67791118548883447212010-12-06T09:26:48.511+00:002010-12-06T09:26:48.511+00:00The BL is a magical place, but sometimes I find th...The BL is a magical place, but sometimes I find the proximity of all those unread (by me) books a little daunting.<br /><br />Glad you are forging ahead, wherever you are.Roderic Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519267912305907364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-3321235286182743402010-12-06T07:28:25.847+00:002010-12-06T07:28:25.847+00:00It's interesting Caroline that you find the BL...It's interesting Caroline that you find the BL so inspiring.<br />Don't the other visitors bother you?<br />I have the concentration span of a peanut and end up nosing at everyone around me if I am anywhere but locked away at home.<br />HBxHelen Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266205672947750373noreply@blogger.com
