The Postmistress notes that the Ladies all depend on the use of telephone answering machines and/or the total absence of telephones from their various workspaces. Indeed it is well known that although Ness owns a mobile phone she never turns it on (except for the time before Christmas when the car broke down in Earlsdon and she turned it on only to realise that it wasn’t charged). This is key to her practice in that it allows her to concentrate on the task in hand – writing plays.
That is except for those times when Ness is visiting one of her favourite web sites e.g. West End Whingers http://westendwhingers.wordpress.com/
But then everyone needs some procrastination time don’t they? The Postmistress hopes that you all (3,605 of you as of today) remember to make space to procrastinate – why not procrastinate by posting a comment? Or indeed as Scarlet O’Hara said ‘After all, tomorrow is another day’.

Lovely ideas, postmistress. This made me smile a lot.

The ladies are so pleased this made you smile, Jo. they were also happy to hear that you are being brave enough to turn away paid work in order to focus on work that’s closer to your heart. This is something the ladies approve heartily of and it is something they themselves often endeavour to do.
The postmistress spies have also been out and have reported to the ladies that you are the proud owner of a Blackberry. This new fangled device they are told enables you to work and to twitter in cosy cafes.
Perhaps the ladies will be able to join you in one of your favourite cafes later in the year. Until then enjoy your writing and wallow in the wonder of your freelance days.
