The man in the yellow sweatshirt

So it's no secret that I love writing at my local library. The reasons are many:

--it's quiet but not too quiet
--everyone who works here is COOL!
--they have internet computers, but not wireless Internet, so I can check email, but not surf
--there's a little table in the non-fiction section that's secluded and empty, and I have great memories of writing LYKY there, so it's got the good mojo.

So imagine my terror when--in the midst of the biggest deadline yet--I found that someone else has discovered my mojo corner!

I don't know who he is; no one on the library staff knows who he is.

But twice now--TWICE--the man in the yellow sweatshirt (did I mention he always wears a yellow sweatshirt?) has been at the mojo table--sucking up the mojo that rightfully belongs to me.

On one hand, I blame myself because I've become a creature of habit, and if I were a Gallagher Girl, Mr. Smith (not to mention Mr. Solomon) would be very upset that my patterns of behavior have become so predictable.

On the other hand, I JUST WANT MY MOJO CORNER BACK!

But no, the man in the yellow sweatshirt has discovered the mojo, and that means it's war.

(But on the upside, I now have incentive for getting here exactly when the doors open and staying until they close.)

Okay, back to the mojo corner!

You could always put a sticky note on that table that says "Reserved for Ally Carter." =D

Yeah, like Jillian said. Only get one of those giant bright pink poster boards and write "Reserved for the most famous author Ally Carter" on it. :)

Thank you. Or we could make a petition for you. My brother can do a really good MR PRESIDENT autograph.

Or even better! Put some yellow crime scene tape up around the table and tape a body outline on the floor.

Oooo Caitlins is the most creative...either that or do a variation of Jillians idea. Take the sign and put a whole stack of each of the three of your book and say Ally Carter signing haha he can't sit there, the library staff would have to stop him!

(This is my third comment on this post, but this is such an interesting topic and I can't help myself.) You could always tell the truth. Say, "I'm sorry, but this is my mojo table." And then show the yellow crime tape. And get some orange cones from a random construction site. And you'll be set!

Yeah! I like Caitlins's idea! It's pretty cool! Jillian's is also a thought!

It's just like on Gilmore Girls when Rory has her "study tree" and then some guy with a comic book is at her study tree and he tells her there are other trees but she needs that tree because it is her study tree but he won't listen. That was a run-on sentence. Sorry. Oh, and I like Jillian's idea. Brilliant!

PS Did any of that make sense? I've been babysitting small children and am to tired to tell. Oh well.
