Hello sweet friends, I'm coming to you from A Cozy Writing Corner. It's been a long time coming. I've been writing at the kitchen table for many years now. If I am home alone that works well. If there are other family members about I often found myself getting distracted by having to answer an endless stream of questions. Or perhaps a television with it's volume turned up too high.
