“Mom! What a peaceful place! A writing desk at the window with a wonderful view of the stream, and the mountains! Isn’t this place perfect to finish your novel?”
“Emily, the house is perfect. But I couldn’t work on my novel. See that brick house across us. Whenever I sit at my desk, the lady in that house notices me and waves at me. Immediately she comes home, starts chattering and doesn’t leave for a couple of hours. I don’t understand how to avoid her. Probably I should pull down the blinds before I start writing!”

Each week, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields-Addicted to Purple hosts Friday Fictioneers where we’re challenged to write a piece of flash fiction in 100 words, more or less, based on the picture above. Thank you, Rochelle, for this challenge.
Ah yes. People seem to think if you work from home you can stop every five minutes.
Thanks for reading and posting your comments 🙂
Hard to find a perfect place to write… really.
Haha, I say, pull that blind fold! 😄 a wonderful story Jahvani. And don’t I know people like that neighbor
You are lucky not to have such people as your neighbors! 😊 thanks for reading, Ameena😊
Haha. That’s funny. It is quite true though. Whenever a writer sits down to write, it seems someone wants to talk.
Indeed, it’s difficult to find a peaceful place !
That would be very distracting! LOL! Great story!
It’s definitely distracting and at the same time very difficult to avoid neighbors 😀
Yes, it would be very difficult to avoid neighbors!
That would be a problem! Some people seem to think you can write and listen to them at the same time, like your drawing or painting something.
Yes,Jessie. Many people don’t understand how much a writer needs privacy.
Neighbours, hey? 🙂
If the blind goes down this writer goes to sleep. Like your take on the photo.
Thanks a lot, Mike. 🙂
Don’t do that, she just misses having a listening ear.
XD XD
Haha..!! 😀
A blind will be perfect, she’ll still be able to look out, but the neighbour won’t see her… until she turns the light on. Nice story.
Yeah they interrupt all the time, demand your time then ask “where’s that novel you’re supposed to be writing?
Nicely done.
🙂
Thanks a lot😊
Used to live in a place like that… now, have to say, I kinda miss the old biddy gossiper. Never had to order a paper or watch the news with her around… of course, her news wasn’t always without bias or even factual, but it was entertaining.
Thank you 🙂
