Ugh, writer's block
I have to write a description for a 1 bedroom co-op apartment on the Upper East Side that we are about to sell, but it's so nice out, and I only have 2 months left before we move to Cali, and I have baby on the brain. It all adds up to lack of focus and wicked writer's block. The creative juices are just not flowing. Any suggestions??
After 22 cycles and 4 failed IUIs, Serafina joined our family through IVF/ICSI, born 8.28.12
Surprise! The Sequel is due 12.8.14!
Re: Ugh, writer's block
Can you do something like, "Okay, when I'm done writing this, I'll go for a walk outside." Something to reward getting it done with?
I got it! how's this sound:
"Be tempted by this Upper East Side 1 bedroom abode! This inviting, light-infused apartment features a smart layout allowing for optimal use of space. A clever reconfiguration of the renovated kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite countertops, & all-new appliances (featuring Sub-Zero refrigerator, D?cor range w/ micro-hood, and Bosch dishwasher) makes it roomy enough to share in your domestic bliss, and opens to a dining corner ideal for dinner parties. Envision after-dinner cocktails either in the comfortable living room or on your generous, south-facing terrace, accessible through the living room or bedroom. The current owners? affinity for organization is evident in the custom-fitted closets in the entry, hall and bedroom, but with your own personal basement storage unit, everything will have its place. The Dunhill is a pet-friendly, full-service boutique condominium building with central heat and air, large laundry facilities, gym, roof deck, party room, full time doorman & concierge as well as superintendant. Let this pedestrian-friendly area of Yorkville entice you with its multitude of restaurants, convenient location near the 86th Street subway station and Carl Schurz Park?s playgrounds, dog run, sunbathing lawns and more!"
A co-op means that you don't own the physical apartment, but rather shares of the corporation that owns the building. How much you pay = how many shares = how big your apartment is. They are cheaper than condos, but have a lot of rules to follow and you have submit a full financial, personal & professional package of info to the board for approval and go through an interview before being allowed to buy into the building. Basically, if they don't like something in your package or about you, they can turn you down for any or no reason. It's very snobby, but such is the NYC real estate market.
$630,000
I know, it sounds crazy, but that's the market here. In my home town, you could get a nice house for a tenth of this!
