It's a Start

I finished another chapter this weekend. Small victories. Having a workspace away from my house makes a huge difference. I really like this community workspace idea. I've met some great people and, it turns out, there are community workspaces around the world that have reciprocal agreements for members. For example, I could happen to be in San Francisco (don't I wish) and need a place to work for a day or two. There are close to a dozen community workspaces where I could work at no charge because I am a member of one in my own town. The idea of coworking is not new, but I didn't appreciate the idea until recently. While the space I rent is only a short walk from my home, it still provides me with a space free from daily distractions like children, laundry, TV, dishes, and dogs. I do take one of my dogs with me now and again- usually when I'm working very late at night.

If you're struggling to get writing done at home and don't want to spend the money to rent an entire office, Check out coworking spaces in your area. They're not or everyone, but it could be a viable alternative to working from home.
