Why was he painted this way

I'm moving to my first home today and it's out in a place with lots of quiet. The constant annoyances these past few years made my writing sound really angry before editing. I can deal with managing house issues but dozens of barking dogs and drunk neighbors make me seethe. Anyone else trying to find a more quiet place for reading and writing?

I am putting fulltime hours into writing outside of my fulltime day job in addition to reading. I work more than I ever have. Its limited my family time a lot but they have to respect it. My retired dad doesnt understand it and asks why I am so busy, he thinks Im making excuses.

Just remembered I was supposed to be writing. Almost done moving into a new house and will finally have some peace and quiet. No one trains their dogs anymore.
