Getting Out of the Home Office
After weeks of working out of my home office, I thought it would be nice to get out and work from an internet cafe. So I toted my computer to the local coffee shop, bought my iced mocha, and set myself up to write and work on some other projects.
I think I like my home office better!
The table my computer is sitting on rocks back and forth as I type. Plus it is just a little sticky. There are a lot of flies here, and they keep landing on me, which makes it hard to focus on my writing.
Sitting at a table across from me is an old guy. He has been sleeping ever since I got here, at least I hope he is just sleeping! I would hate to think that I was typing away across from someone who had passed on.
But the worst is the guy sitting behind me. He hasn’t bought anything and he doesn’t have a computer. He isn’t reading or doing anything like that. He is just sitting. It feels like he is watching me. I hope I am wrong.
I have read from many bloggers that they like to go to public places to write their blog posts. That it helps to have a change of scenery. They like people watching and the goings on around them inspires creative blog posts.
I think I may be just the opposite. Between the flies and creepy people, I think I am happier in my own private little room. Looking out the window at my trees, on a desk that doesn’t rock. What about you? Where do you like to write from?

Love a view on a real world experience LOL! Sorry yours didn’t go well. I cannot type at all on a laptop so regardless I’m “stuck at home.”
Based on what you are saying though, I’m not missing out
We just got a coffee shop here. I go to relax and just enjoy some out of the office time a few times a month. It’s great!

Sometimes I get the itch to load up the bare necessities and work away from home but when I do it generally just makes me appreciate (and miss) my own workspace. It’s like a vacation that you enjoyed… but you’re oh so glad to be HOME again.
