Describe what your dream writing space would look like.
There’s a log cabin with a wrap-around porch facing a lake near the top of a mountain. The bedroom-turned-office has a picture window facing the lake, and deer and elk wander by. Two of the walls are lined with bookshelves that are overflowing. My cup of hot chocolate never goes dry-at least, when I empty it, my husband brings me more. When it snows, the roads don’t close and the high-speed internet never goes down. Of course, the words flow like water in the springtime snowpack melt..
Okay, so that will never happen. But I’m pretty darn happy with what I have right now.
We’re living in a small town- more like a village-in the hills of Appalachia in northwestern PA. I have a room all to myself as an office. It’s on the second floor, and the two windows overlook our yard and the well-maintained empty lot next door. There are no elk, but deer drop by for a visit sometimes. Then, there is a nice assortment of birds. Plus, I’ve counted over fifteen varieties of wildflowers on the properties.
The room itself is comfy and peaceful. It’s like a warm blanket I can wrap up in on a chilly day. Everything I need is handy, from a bookshelf for reference materials and whatever books I am reading, and a stereo for background music. The two windows face east, flooding the room with light on a sunny day.
Best part is the quiet. No constant sirens. Little traffic. It’s rare to hear an airplane. I can actually hear the birds sing.
Oh, and the internet connection, while not perfect, is somewhere between pretty darn good and excellent.
(I took this picture before I’d finished decorating, but this is close to what it looks like now- just add dragons.)
Words still aren’t flowing like the springtime snowmelt in the Rockies, but I’m moving along on my WIP.
