Ode to…Working in My Pajamas

December 9, 2010

So I folded my laundry yesterday, and was…surprised that the bulk of it was pajamas. And sweats. The lack of formal attire in my clean clothes pile is always and indication of just close I am to deadline. Umm. Very close.  Which also means I haven’t left the house much.

Sadly, my pile did not include cool, classy pajamas like these:

Nor the virginal variety like these:

I wear mismatched tops and bottoms that scare the UPS man, who sort of drops the packages on the deck and runs from “that crazy writer lady” who lives at the end of the cul-de-sac.

But I will say…getting paid to work from home in my pajamas, penning tales of lust and love and murder, starring some damn hot cowboys and the kickass women who love them, is the greatest gig in the world 🙂

    LOL! My PJs consist of Tshirts and sweats or shorts…:)
    Wish I could work from home and stay in my PJs all day! But I am VERY grateful that you do! LOVE your stories!!!
    It might be a good thing you don’t wear anything too sexy when you answer to door for the UPS man. He might have a heart attack!

    It doesn’t matter to me what you wear to write in as long as you keep it up. Just read the entire RR series in about 2 weeks. Love the series. Cant wait to start on the rest. Oh by the way, having to dress up everyday to go to work sucks so you really do have the best job in the world. Wish I was that talented. Next time the UPS man makes a delivery hand him a copy of Long Hard Ride. He or more likely his wife will be living on your deck. Have a great day and keep up the awesome work.

    My whole family walks thru the front door, straight to their rooms to shed whatever they are wearing. We are all PJ wearing fools. Which consist of fleece or t- shirts or whatever has holes. Comfort is key. And when people stop by, I just invite them in with an apology. Your job rocks that you can be so comfortable. Maybe that’s why your books are so smokin hot. Your not restricted. Your blood flow goes to all the right places. 😉

    Lorelei, you have the best job in the world, and you’re the best at it. I can’t think of anything I would like better than to sit here at the computer in my PJs and crank out hot romance novels for a living. You’re living my dream. Keep up the GREAT work!

    Amen to that! I wish I was talented enough to write stories like yours so I could work from home in my pjs too. A girl can dream. Only way I’ll be home is if I win the lottery.

    Amazingly pajamas don’t feature real big in your works of art. Well I guess that gives me cause to celebrate given your love of pajamas that might scare away my heros. So thank you for doing away with pajamas in your books.

    On the ranch here I homeschool my kids. Especially in the winter our homeschool uniforms are our pajamas. Also mandatory, cups of hot chocolate in front of the fireplace.

    I work from home & I wear pjs round the clock. If the famous Lorelei James does it, then that only proves to me that i’m doing something right. Of course, a week our two later I find my real clothes are usually too tight since I have been wearing elastic all the time. Clothes usually keep me from over doing it.
