I would (ONCE AGAIN) be so grateful to be able to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE and work today. I have a room booked for the first week of December, but I don't really want to just go away entirely to work. I just want to go away FOR THE DAY. Possibly every day for a week, sure, but...
I was talking to Ted about how I didn't so much want to run away entirely to work, I just wanted somewhere I could GO to work without interruption for a while, & he started looking up office hotspots/desks/workspaces/whatever. Not permanent spaces, but a couple days a week like.
Which I hadn't really been considering in my previous searches for office space, bc I was thinking in terms of, y'know, MOVING EVERYTHING to an office, as opposed to the "going to the coffee shop with the laptop" model.
& on one hand, 10 days a month at a hotspot office isn't exactly cheap. OTOH, it's quite a lot cheaper than a week at a hotel & doesn't blow my wad all at once. I don't even really NEED a private office, except I want to be as far away from other filthy humans as possible.
& OT3H, if I had 10 days of uninterrupted writing a month I could write a paranormal romance in that time, which would more than pay for the money spent on the office.
It could also give me uninterrupted REVISING time. I hate revising, guys. I really hate it.

And I hate it even more, to the point of "I won't do it until the night before it's due" levels of resistance, if I believe I'm going to be interrupted while working on it. Which of course I always am at home. So it'd be worth it all by itself on that level. :p
good lord. while i was typing up this thread i emailed a place and they called me three minutes later.
