Describe what your dream writing space would look like.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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..<\/p>\n

Okay, so that will never happen. But I’m pretty darn happy with what I have right now.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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,\u00a0 and a stereo for background music. The two windows face east, flooding the room with light on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

Best part is the quiet. No constant sirens. Little traffic. It’s rare to hear an airplane. I can actually hear the birds sing.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the internet connection, while not perfect, is somewhere between pretty darn good and excellent.<\/p>\n

(I took this picture before I’d finished decorating, but this is close to what it looks like now- just add dragons.)<\/p>\n

Words still aren’t flowing like the springtime snowmelt in the Rockies, but I’m moving along on my WIP.<\/p>\n
