Office Joy

I’ve started writing and revising at HKU, where Alley is sharing her office with Helen and me. It’s a big difference from writing in my cramped apartment, constantly shaking with construction. Writing in Hong Kong is ridiculously difficult. Everything I write seems fragmented. In my apartment, there’s always something distracting me. I always end up doing domestic things: washing laundry, hanging up laundry, checking if laundry is dry (during the winter, I used my hair dryer), taking down laundry, folding laundry, emptying my drawers and refolding my laundry. Needless to say, it’s nice to be working on a quiet campus again.
