You write at karaoke? I don't think I could do that. :) I'm always aware that the writing I do in public will need finessing when I'm alone with it again. But that's just me. I can write, but it's more like my brain is partly distracted so that I'm working but not aware that what I'm doing needs help. I don't know, I guess it's silly. :) But it does mean that the internal sensor isn't quite as picky and I get more done. Wow, Candice! You write at karaoke?

I went to T-Mobile and asked them why I wasn't able to sign up for the HotSpot. The short of it is that they signed me up and apologized. Yikes, so now I have internet at Starbucks. Part of the reason I did it was because we'll be turning off our connection here at home soon. But, I think I'll still manage to work if I go. I'll turn off my wireless card and write. I've tried that at home, but I can't leave it alone for long. :)<br/><br/>I used to need solitude to write. In fact, I remember being amazed at you for writing with rock music playing. I could only write to classical. But, now I can write with an iPod in my ears. I don't know if it's me growing older or if I could have done it back then but that it was the book that demanded classical music. Terry, I just did a bad thing.

I've never been able to write at the beach. Too many distractions. :) I take my AlphaSmart from time to time, but I just end up staring at the ocean. Where are you in Georgia? We'll be in Northern Alabama in another 6 weeks or so.<br/><br/>Aloha nui loa. :) Hey, Sue! I’ve never been able to write at the beach.

I'm glad it worked for you, though!

When we were in Hawaii, I'd go to the beach to write my first drafts and the same thing in Florida. Now that we are living in northern Georgia... I'm haven't found a new place to go to write.
