Cats are good writing company. I've almost never written beside a person, even my wife, and I think I'd find it difficult. Kudos, Jason, on being able to write beside your wife! If only we all could do as much.

Oh - I generally write anywhere in the house, but at about 3-4 a.m. A hammock sounds very nice, and attics are legendary.
Cheers,
