Are You An Organized Writer?


Are you an organized writer?  Is your desk neat with no clutter?

A friend of mine, just redid her office.  I went over there to check it out.  I was shocked to see how organized the office was.

1.. The desktop was marble and built into the wall.  Up against the wall at the end of her desk was a large box with shelves in it, made into small boxes.  Each box had a purpose.  The other end of the marble desk was another wooden box with shelves.

2.  I could see the floor.

3..  I could walk in and not step over anything.

4.  It was a writer's dream office.

5.  She offered to help me redo mine.

I should of been grateful for the offer.  I should of taken the offer.  I didn't

I can not write being that organized.  Why?  You might ask. 

I have a hard time writing in my office.  When I am in my office and I sit down at the computer, I feel and think that I need to be productive.  I have to do something. 

I like taking my laptop and write in the living room while the tv is on.  I like writing in bed or sitting on the floor.  I like writing out side on the patio where I can watch the chickens walk around.

My office is not neat by someone else's standard.  My desk is cluttered with notebooks and legal pads. 

The walls have 3 bulletin boards, which are covered with notes, pictures and floor plans for books I am working on.  On the floor is bags of chicken feed,and  a chicken feeder. 

A CD player is on the floor by my desk.

I am comfortable in my office.  I know that no one will go into my office, because they will never find what they are looking for.  It is my oasis .

It doesn't matter what your writing space looks like.  It only matters that is is your space.  A space where you can go and sit and be a writer.

I also want to tell you, before I moved and before I had an office, my office was my bedroom.  My boyfriend was sick and had to move in with me.  I no longer could spread out in the living room  So I had to write in bed or on the floor.  Printer was on top of my dresser. 

So you don't have to have an office to write.  You just need to write.

Write On!

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/
