I’ve been to the library several times over the last week, and got so much done! I finished a few books I was reading, I worked on my blog a little, and I did most of my writing for the week! Oh, and I looked at a consanguinity chart too, and managed to make sense of it.
It’s nice and quiet, there are comfy chairs, tables, free wi-fi and outlets! The outlet part is especially important because the battery in my laptop is pretty much dead, and I can’t afford a new one, which means that I am attached to the power cord at all times. It tends to be inconvenient when I want to work on something at a place that is not called my house, since I need an outlet, and most places don’t seem to have a lot of outlets. If they have any at all, that is. I mean, I can write out some notes or an outline or brainstorm…but if I want to actually work on one of my novels, I need to be plugged in to do so. It’s not that big of a deal, because it nevers hurt to brainstorm, but at the same time, I can’t access any of my typed notes. I did write down the notes I had typed up, so at least I have a written copy in my binder. And looking at my notes when brainstorming could help me come up with ideas.
Now that I’m done whining about how my battery is dead, I don’t know why I didn’t think of adding my library to the list of place to go to. Coffeeshops are also good places, but it’s harder to justify staying at a coffeeshop for a few hours. At least for me- and I tend to get slightly more distracted at a coffeshop than at the library…the library is a magical place. I feel like I have to be productive at the library, especially when I look around and see people studying and stuff.
I think that’s enough rambling for now. There’s no doubt I’ll be rambling about something else soon!
