A few of us in my real life writing group organise 'write-ins' on this model every now and then, and they can be phenomenally useful - somehow just knowing other people are also working helps keep everyone on task (a bit like the college library atmosphere I used to know, before lap tops and social everythings).

What do you want to accomplish today?<br />And he also gets some muffins and coffee/tea; we meet in an area of the library where people can sit together at desks or spread out and sit alone.Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.com
