I’m learning that about the only way I can get any freelance writing work done is by sequestering myself in my bedroom. This is really annoying, because the lighting is not good, there is no bookshelf, and most importantly, there is no desk. I find myself sitting in the bed with my laptop, balancing things on my bedside table. I’ve also taken to leaving the air filter on, so that its white noise will drown out the sounds of my son playing with the dog and the blaring television set. What I need is a lap desk, since it doesn’t appear that this situation is going to resolve itself anytime soon. It would be nice to get one with a cup holder, so I could manage my coffee while I do my research.

I do have an office, but right now it is filled with excess furniture from our old house. I absolutely need to get on the ball and clean that mess out so I can have a decent place to write. I was looking at my earnings last night and realized that I could easily double them if I could only concentrate. So for now, the bedroom will be my office, but I’m really hoping that this will be a temporary solution.
