It's also a time that I am pretty much forced to be sitting down with very little else to do.Nichols 'Scott' Emrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129239544700458611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-870140698343983302010-01-21T22:54:21.565-05:002010-01-21T22:54:21.565-05:00My office is a multi-purpose room.

After eight hours of customer service emanating from that room, I sometimes find it hard to craft there and it definitely is not condusive to writing.<br /><br />So, I am rearranging my dining room. Low bookcases line two walls. My newly acquired vintage typewriter takes pride of place on top of one bookcase. The current round glass table (soon to be replaced with a square wooden one) holds my laptop. I can see the TV if I want to and I don't have to see the same four walls I work in all day long LOL.<br /><br />I love hearing how and where other authors ply their craft and really appreciate this post.<br /><br />Now, any suggestions on how to budget my time between doing research, reading blogs and actually putting words to paper, let alone finding time for pleasure reading?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12794760097129715871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-37073648270676088182010-01-21T16:59:59.041-05:002010-01-21T16:59:59.041-05:00I write on the go a lot.

The office is very modern, black and white, with blue petroleum details (the cushions on the sofa and armchair, the sumptuous damask drapes ...) and there's a TV, because sometimes while I'm working I like to play some of the music channels in the background ;)<br /><br />The most important thing - my working room has to have a looooooooots of natural light.DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-75742794568264717692010-01-21T10:59:12.059-05:002010-01-21T10:59:12.059-05:00I'm still searching for my perfect place.

I'd like to turn one of our kids rooms (who have moved onto college) into a writing room, but that won't happen until I get an agent...and my wife cuts the chord. <br /><br />It may be awhile.DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-90207213153462500032010-01-21T09:41:49.359-05:002010-01-21T09:41:49.359-05:00I have the most delightful little office that is f...I have the most delightful little office that is far superior to any office I had at any of my previous jobs. A pleasant atmosphere with all the comforts of home, probably because it IS at home! I've created an area that I love to be in and work in.<br /><br />Just as they say your bedroom should be calming and a place for sleep, my office is inducive of work and comfort. I just took a glance around - yeah. I like it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855818112935929377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-35126357380943133992010-01-21T09:38:56.394-05:002010-01-21T09:38:56.394-05:00I love having my room to write in.

A place you go to that is all your own to create in. However, sometimes thoughts come to you in the most unusual places and you have to be ready to capture them. I jotted down notes while stopped at a red light, grabbing a bite of lunch, even waiting for a prescription to be filled. I love you idea of taking a digital recorder with you. That would be an extra bonus.Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.com
