So happy you found your perfect writing desk. We are creatures of habit and creative people really do need a place to be comfortable. For me, I'm stretched out on the sofa or in bed and I write on top of a computer table. I have diffused light streaming through my windows and I am content. But now, I am in the middle of packing up my Chicago Condo and moving all my 'Stuff' to a lovely village three hours west of the city. An historic town on the border of the grand Mississippi River, Galena, IL will be my new home. I just recently signed a contract to buy a turn of the century framed home with a wonderful front porch! I'll also have a huge walk up attic, which I plan to turn into my recreation of the Hogwarts's library...I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I have hundreds of books that I will be able to display in the century old rafters in this charming historic home... Time for a new adventure!Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-82310646188106588882019-09-09T14:37:58.750-04:002019-09-09T14:37:58.750-04:00What a great story!

Going anyplace wonderful to write would be wasted on me. I'm better off writing right here at home (but not right in front of a window, thankyouverymuch) because if I'm somewhere exotic or exciting, the writing would be abandoned in favor of adventure.

Funny, how that goes. I guess it's like Dorothy said in Oz, "There's no place like home." I like to think I could write brilliantly if I was at a beach. But no, I'd be in the water or walking the beach. I'm probably better off at this ugly desk of mine in our "office" at my home. Emphasis on home.
