A Room of One's Own

I write, so I know about the need for a room of one's own. Practically and mentally. I need to make a sign to put on my door and a note with the same text to email to friends and family: Go away! I'm writing! The trouble is: When I do tell people, I am currently working on something, they all keep asking me about it. What is it? They ask me. Will it be finished soon? And I do not want to tell them anything about it. Answering takes the energy out of the creative proces. So: Go away! I'm writing!
