Bloggers, How Do You Work? – A One-Time Meme

Next Wednesday, September 8th, I’m hosting a one-time meme here called “How I Work,” mostly to finally answer my husband’s daily question, What did you do all day?

Most of us are sitting for a large chunk of the day, whether at home or at an office somewhere. We are doing freelance, working on our blogs, tweeting, or doing whatever we do at the computer, but we all have our method. If you are blogging from your lanai on a private island, I don’t want to hear about it. Okay, I do. Kind of.

I’m always wondering what people are doing and where they are when they’re blogging or tweeting, in a non-perverted way, of course. I’m frequently in my bed with a laptop, but I’m mostly working at my desk with a steady steam of coffee and chewy Spree. The point is, we are all doing our thing somewhere in our own special way.

Write a post that sets the scene and shows how you do it. You might answer some of these questions:

Where is your desk and what does your set-up look like? Inspiration board or dart board with someone’s face?

What is your view? A view of the city, or a window to exotic happenings in suburbia?

Is it quiet or are you listening to music, news or self-help audio books?

What are you drinking, eating and wearing (details please)?

Is your cat in your lap, your dog under the desk, or your baby on your boob?

How do you keep from getting distracted? I don’t. It’s a problem.

If you have kids, how do you get them to let you blog in peace? Oh, the controversy.

With all that sitting, how do you keep from going numb from the waist down?

And anything else that is part of the “process.”

We want pictures! Show us your view, your neighbor, the unfolded laundry piling up around you, or the back of your irritating co-worker’s head. And the pets! Pets photos are cute.

Forward this to anyone you think would want to join us, and grab the badge my friend, Maria, graphic design and website genius, made for me.

Come back here Wednesday morning and link up your post. See you then!
