And I always have the best ideas when I'm driving, so I end up taking out a note pad and trying to write down an idea without looking at whether or not it's legible so I don't crash the car.<BR/><BR/>ChelseyFacebannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856099134633568561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10091286.post-76151731000135352342008-03-10T17:56:00.000-07:002008-03-10T17:56:00.000-07:00As a SAHM right now, my car is my office and my ki...As a SAHM right now, my car is my office and my kitchen is the conference room.

I love writing in the bath. I use a cheap notebook (so I don’t mind if the pages get damp) and a ball point pen. It’s a great way to get a few extra minutes to write, since no one interrupts me while I’m in the bath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10091286.post-36187996360622760142008-03-08T00:34:00.000-08:002008-03-08T00:34:00.000-08:00As a New Yorker, I an without a car to write in.
