Nancy, I would LOVE it if you were in the co-working space, too. It's a really nice way to insert some structure into a loose work schedule, as well as some interaction. You should definitely stop by and check it out when you get back to the country.

Lesley, thanks! I'm sure the growing popularity is partly due to the increased numbers of people giving freelancing and other less traditional work arrangements a try. It's very refreshing.

Jody, I love this: "As soon as the door is closed the rest of the world is gone and I’m in a great work space." No, yours isn't a "traditional office," but often a traditional office isn't at all what we need or want.

Matt, it's good to hear from other writers and creative sorts who can relate to what I'm talking about. I'm glad you found a space in your home that works for you. Thanks for stopping by to comment!
