The best part about RedRoom so far (in addition to the fact that it's so easy to add photos to my site), is the ease of access to other writers: my heroes and heroines, along with new acquaintances and friends.

Here's something I've experienced about my focus, or lack of it—I know, I know, I have ADD, really bad! That would explain so much about my scattered life. Anyway, I digress. Of course. What I've noticed is that it is always much easier for me to focus and get things done, when I am at the coast.

I just got back from Sea Ranch, where I was able to spend a whole week reading and writing, all alone, and got more done then than I did in the prior three. What a luxury. There's some magic in a room of one's own, after all—I knew Virginia was on to something.

The rugged seacoast is my favorite place to write. After that comes the desert. That's for dessert. Yum!
