I went to the library to try to write today, to see if it would have the same effect as a cafe (ie, lots of words). It went pretty well, with 4800 words, but the amazing part is that when I came home, my husband had: – fixed the washing machine – fixed the dryer – mopped the downstairs – vacuumed – cleaned up the disaster area of an entryway – cleaned the kitchen – cleaned the kitty litter – tucked the garbage & recycling out of the way, the…
