It's definitely still my dream to have a city view, but I think the next best thing would be to rent some space in a building downtown here that houses artists' studios.

ALL comments were blessings of hope. The query was another matter. Maybe I should try 'six word Saturdays' and see if I can make a six word query. It would be less stressful than getting shot down with a 100 word query that makes no sense.lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-88537716090154197812012-05-07T16:00:26.711-04:002012-05-07T16:00:26.711-04:00I can't wait to pick up that book.

I love getting a glimpse into other people's lives and for some reason our studios/offices seem like such intimate places that I love getting to see how other people work. <br />I would also love a perch somewhere high with gorgeous views of treetops to do my writing, but mostly I sit at the couch in my family room or on a chair in the sun in my living room. I can't complain. It works for me (most of the time).Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909231722765498071noreply@blogger.com
