It's official: I now work in a pole dancing studio.

I don’t want you to get the wrong idea: the pole dancing is strictly for fitness; women only. And also, when I say I work there, I mean I rent their extra room.

That is an awesomely great story and seems like the kind of space that would be inspiring for a writer.

Hey, I have no kids, and no family, and no one to please but myself, and I STILL can't write inside my apartment. When I write I haul my laptop out into the covered breezeway just outside the door(fortunately it's just me and my roommate and a very understanding lady across the way). I would KILL for an office. I am considering dipping into my savings when it comes time to revise the novel and taking a hotel room for a day or two.

The poles, the bordello walls = AMAZING.

That is perfect! It sounds like the premise for a sitcom! Enjoy your writing time.

Desk and couch

We assume the desk and couch in the garage are going in your new office. Shelving might also help cove a bit of those red walls. You also need some posters on the wall - any chance of getting Scholastic to turn your "Plain Kate" cover into a large poster to promote the book?

Wow, that really is bordello red! I hope it works out for you; it sounds like a fun place. I love the story about your grandmother. Alas, without radiating such fierceness, most of us do have to learn to ask for what we want. Good for you.
