QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Desk Porn

After reading Jennifer Crusie's post about Susan Elizabeth Phillips' desk, Ms. Brownlow and I were emailing about desks. I was looking for old pics of my desk, when I came across an old post I made of writing corner porn. (They're not even that porny--some of the features are quite doable. Minus the beautiful windows in clearly old houses.)





 
Here are two old pics of my writing corner. The essentials are still the same, but I periodically rearrange things. While a fancy pant cute-a-tude corner is nice to dream about, better a crap desk where you get your writing done, than a beautiful one where you don't.

Okay, I want Want WANT that one with the red cabinets (though maybe not with the yellow walls). Either way, I need to get me some more bookshelves before my piles tumble over and kill me. I like the ones you have off to the right, there.

Possibly number 2 or 4 ... a combination of both, including the sum of their floor space!

That last statement is so true. I keep moving my desk around but still I never write there.

Hell. I thought the cottage porn was bad, but this... THIS!!!???

Your corner is delightful. :)

(Wow, see what happens when I do everything alphabetically? I am all Fabby behind now. On the plus side, it looks as though the BlogSpot/WordPress curse is broken.

yay)

@Delia - Ah but what a way to go!

@widder - Space to roll around on your chair

@JJJ - Like the saying "The best exercise is the one you'll do" :-)

@Julie - I usually avoid les porns, I don't like my fantasies to too far outstrip my reality.
