Head space is the most important to me, plus a keyboard, a window to see at least a tree if not the sea, a keyboard, plenty of tablets and pencils, a room door to close and a cyber door onto the Internet for research - but there's the rub. How to fetch just what a I need without letting the devils of social media and Web distractions into my writing space. Thanks for the peek inside your writing space. Sounds like a good one!

Before, I used a small upstairs bedroom at the front of the house. We live on a main road but I suppose I must have got used to the traffic. Then I moved down to a different room at the back which looks out onto the garden. It's quiet, the view changes as various shrubs come in and out of flower, but it lacks one thing the other used to provide. Up there, whenever I came to a pause in the narrative and needed to link to the next thread, I'd look out of the window and, without having to wait too long, I'd always see something mildly interesting or curious - a woman dressed in a strange way, a man with a strutting or stumbling walk, a car with skis strapped to the roof in July - my policeman, Jack Carston, would then get up from his desk, walk to his window, see the same thing and comment on it. That freed him from the previous loop, so he could set out on the next. Plants don't give me that option.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-33447001802885860282017-01-18T08:28:32.645+00:002017-01-18T08:28:32.645+00:00Very well said, Tara.

I too have a view of the wall as my office used to be a garage yet somehow I manage to write Wendy H. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022089775887274043noreply@blogger.com
