I'm A Writer & I Am A Hoarder

Last week I moved out into the country.  A brand new trailer.  I now have my own office.  I should be happy, excited and ready to write.  I am overwhelmed. I have a lot of stuff.  The last place I lived, I lived for 15 years.  I wrote a lot in long hand.  I saved everything I wrote  in longhand and that I typed.  Magazines, newspapers and scribbled notes.  I saved them all.  I was unpacking and putting things in the closet that I wanted to keep.  The closet is filled.  I looked around and had no place to put any of the things I am currently working on.  I still have no room. I am a Hoarder.  I am overwhelmed.  When I met my boyfriend fifteen years ago.  He helped me overcome my hoarding problem then.  I threw a lot of things away, but kept a lot and over the fifteen years, I have collected a more.  I want this time to be different.  I want a nice place to live.  A place to write, where I can find what I need. Am I crazy or do other writer's save everything they write
