In reply to Sarah Joyce Bryant. Thanks for your comment, Sarah. The video was a very cool touch. Please come back and leave us a link if you add the list of your writing tools.

This is really great! I love how you have shown the photos of your writing room and listed your writing tools. I will have to add the list of writing tools to my post. Thanks for sharing the link to my writing room video!

In reply to Snailwriter. « Owl and Sparrow. Snailwriter-thanks again. I went to your blog to see the picture of your desk, but again I couldn't find it. Will you add a link here for us?

[…] PPS: That’s a picture of my desk, where all the magic happens. Imagine some rain today, and a little Remy curled up behind me, and you can picture where I am. Check out Cynthia’s blog for a little series on where writers do their thing. […]

In reply to cynthia. I just finished my 'writing spaces' post. I put it on my other blog because it doesn't get much love... I tend to neglect it. Anyway, check it out! Nothing phenomenal as I had to take a corner of one of the kid's room for it. In our new house, I'll have a spot with all my shelves in one room and a real desk and all. I hope that it will look something like yours, Cynthia! That's the goal. But for now, I have what I have. Hey, at least the writing gets done.

Wonderful and timely article in today’s New York Times on writers’ rooms!

“THE novelist Roxana Robinson, who lives in a Classic 8 on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, can reel off many of the unusual ways that writers have found quiet and solitude in which to practice their craft….”

She “has an inviting book-lined study, not to be confused with her writing room.” Apparently there are too many distractions in her study for her to write!

The little slide show that she narrates also has some great shots of her book shelves.

In reply to Sharon (thesunlitdesk). Nice to hear from you, Sharon! It is fascinating what our writing spaces reflect about us. It would probably be revealing for me if I could look at mine objectively. I would love to know how you are going about preparing your writing space--what you feel must be there... Hope to hear from you again!

Hi there
Writing spaces reflect so much of who we are. I’m working on a new writing space for myself at the moment. It’s going to take awhile, but the end result will hopefully give me as much pleasure as yours does. Thanks for sharing
