He went to classes and I sat hunched over the laptop typing up a storm. A good chunk of the background and character info for my current WIP happened in a Seattle hotel room away from kids, the phone, or even the distraction of my husband. :)<BR/><BR/>We love Seattle!Jaime Thelerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12442679809704484650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977222469711812208.post-63953358966629408752008-05-20T18:23:00.000-07:002008-05-20T18:23:00.000-07:00WOW Michelle<BR/>We are going down to Seattle here in June.
