Author of Sacred Feathers Floats to Coffee Shops

When the house is too full of guests and obligations, that's when I retire to my "other office" and take my laptop to my favorite coffee shop. An hour or so out of the house renews my holiday spirit and my patience, and often allows me to dream up new ideas.

I'm one of those people who actually likes to make New Year's resolutions, and to set at least one writing goal for the coming year. To put myself in the mood, I take a brand new notebook and my favorite pen to a coffee shop, and spend half an hour sipping and writing.
