A room… er, desk… of one’s own
Posted on March 10, 2008 in This Writing Life by DM
Virginia Woolf once noted, “…a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is going to write.”
Well this weekend, while I couldn’t really justify taking an entire room, I did the next best thing: I cleared the end of my bedroom where all the clutter gets stored and made room for this beautiful homemade writing desk given to me by my neighbor. It appears to be oak, with a pull-out drawer and a footboard running across the bottom, and cool craftsman-style detailing on the sides. It’s a beautiful, sturdy piece and I’m thrilled to have it! Especially because Kristin and Hollie were nice enough to transport it across the street for me! (Yep, free desk AND free delivery - betcha wish you had my AWESOME neighbors!!)
The cat has already given it his approval, as he’s used it to sit and stare out the window. (That dark blur at the bottom of the photo is his head… he couldn’t resist a walk-by as I was taking the picture.) And yes, that’s my beloved Writer’s Market perched on the desktop next to the blue storage box.
Also, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank my DH Steve for carting all the donated stuff to the Salvation Army this morning.
