So. There.
Now then, when I did take a break (sheesh, you people are slave drivers), I toodled over to GalleyCat, which is my go-to site for keeping up on the publishing biz. Seems like there's a crazy new trend happening that sounds uber fun to me! Silent Reading Parties are all the rage amongst hipsters and/or people who just love to read.
What is it? Exactly what it sounds like. Everyone brings whatever they feel like reading and they...uh...read. Generally this takes place in a coffee shop but some people are hosting them in their homes as well. Here's what one looks like:
Quiet music is played in the background. One place was jazzy enough to have live harp music to spice up the ambiance.
Personally, sounds like a great idea to me. . . as long as everyone can keep their mouth shut and read.

Keeping ones mouth shut - REALLY. That will be the day - but it's a fun idea.
Fun idea but I can do that at home. LOL Still, I might write at one of those. The energy of people around me reading while I'm creating a new book is cool! And I love your idea of that low table with baskets and boxes to hide the junk. :)
I love your writing space, very nice. And honestly, I cannot see a bunch of people sitting around JUST reading....someone will say something that will get more than one other person talking and talking and talking....But it's a nice concept.
I see the Penwrights!
