Development of a Writing Space…

Home » Blog » Development of a Writing Space…
My first writing space was the dining room table. Obviously, not a perfect scenario as I would have to clear all my writing paraphernalia away, but it was a start. I would type for hours on my old laptop sitting on the sofa, at the dining table, perched on a bench while children practiced sports, at the local library - in fact anywhere I was allowed to write. With a reorganization of the dining table end of the living room, I purchased a real writing desk. Coupled with my laptop there was an extra screen and a new desk organizer.

Since then I have extended my writing space several times to include  more shelving, a new laptop, and an ever-evolving inspiration wall. The wheeled suitcases are packed with books, promotional items, display stands and table coverings for events. Ready at a moment's notice!

 Next on my wish list? A study of my own so I can shut myself away from the banal television shows and the constant noise!

One way or the other I will succeed.

How has your writing space developed?

    I’m currently in the living room…it is not conducive to clear-headed writing. I’ll have to make way for a Christmas tree, so I’m planning on creating a new, work friendly environment. Let’s hope.

      Yes I’m one end of the living room and the TV noise is troublesome but I will get a study one day! For now I put earphones in and dull out the nasty TV. Good luck with your plans.

        And good luck to you! The earphones get tiresome, but we do what we have to do.

    I’m so jealous! My writing space is still wherever I can manage, usually on the couch with my laptop when home, or on my tablet if I can sneak time when out of the house. On occasion there’s even some writing tapped out on my phone.
