Tired of obtaining low amounts of useless visitors for your site? Well i wish to inform you of a fresh underground tactic that makes myself $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could truthfully be here all day and going into detail but why dont you merely check their site out? There is really a excellent video that explains everything. So if your serious about producing easy hard cash this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Your flat looks lovely. I definitely wouldn’t make taking a writing tour through those rooms.

I have a desktop PC so I have a dedicated writing space, desk and all. (I’m upgrading to Windows 7 and getting a better motherboard/processor and I’m shamelessly excited.) I personally love it. I am so still, I become so subsumed in the process that it’s similar to a trance. A portable device (laptop or Kindle/Ipad) wouldn’t provide that sort of forced concentration, so I don’t know if I would like it exclusively. I would like one for times when I can’t be at home but want to write, and writing in bed sounds divine. The more options the better, I’m thinking.

I have a ridiculously short attention span, so Ive found the best place for my writing is some place where there is nothing else to do but write. Until I discovered mac freedom (http://macfreedom.com/) I thought that could only be a state library or log cabin in the mountains.

Now I’ve found as long as there is no internet, no tv and no friends to distract, I can pretty much write anywhere my macbook is.

This is how mine often looks :

Move the sofa out the way, point some posh lights around and it becomes :

Yay for transforming the work-place

This is my workspace this week!

I got back to Berlin two days ago and there was a new desk here, which pleases me. But in less than a week I’ll be in Oslo. And after that Edinburgh. And so on. I just need my tiny computer, and preferably a desk – for the sake of my posture – but I frequently make do with sitting crosslegged on the floor in an airport, or using the fold-out tray on a train.

I find your house a remarkably easy place in which to work, but I guess a lot of that is the novelty. I am like you, taken to an extreme– I constantly need bribery and different places to work.

I carry around an alphasmart so that I can really work anywhere. Some of the more unusual places I’ve written short stories or parts of novels: Guano Point at the Grand Canyon, in a treehouse, on a riverboat, ontop of slave-trading fort ruins, at Nashville’s replica of the Parthenon, on airplanes with divorcees spilling their gin between the keys, in changing rooms waiting for friends to just hurry-up-and-pick-something, at a pancake house, next to a spring where many people see the Virgin Mary, etc.

I do have a favorite cafe that I use when I’m in Nashville, and I usually sit at the same table, but that only works because they have unlimited iced tea and I can smell burning bagles from my seat. Also it is right next to a park in which I can go write when the weather cooperates.

Sitting in an office or at a desk without any sort of extreme bribery makes me feel far too violent for words.

You probably won’t read this till you get back, by which time I’ll be also at a writer’s retreat for a week – first time I’ve ever been to one. We’ll have to exchange experiences.

oh I just remembered thinking of something when I saw the play–Macbeth and Lady Macbeth being played by the same actor is so amazing in its own way,but the first thing that strikes you at the end is that there are no women in it, there’re no women on stage; and with the same actor being Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, it’s pretty subtle and interesting a way to talk specifically about what’s happening to the women there. There’s just no women around.
