Where Do You Write?
What I discovered about myself when I got my very first laptop almost 2 years ago, is that I'm a rabbit at heart and prefer to hole into little cubbies. Despite my new ability to venture away from the desktop and out of the confinement of the small office, I've landed in the even smaller butler's pantry as my primary writing space.
It's a narrow galley between the kitchen and the dining room w/ a pantry closet on one side and this small counter on the other. I just couldn't focus in wide open spaces---far too many distractions. So this is where I go when I need to get 'er done. And yet, I'm still in the middle of the house and able to keep my mom-dar on. ;)
Yes, that's a wine fridge on the right---what's your point? The beauty is that when company is coming, I can easily whisk away the office supplies (including the pens, etc. in the coffee cups) and *bam* it becomes a beverage oasis. The guests leave, and *bam* it's back to my "office."
And when my attention deficit requires a change of scenery, I've got a couple other favorite spots. To the left is the nook in my bedroom where I make the laptop earn it's name. And when the temperatures warm up and the leaves sprout to form a little den, I spend long nights out on my screen porch.

I also love writing in the kitchen, living room, and in the hall and empty classrooms on campus.
Best,

Do you stand when writing in the pantry or do you have a stool?
Great idea, by the way! This has been so fun to see a little into everyone!
Don't patronize me Ms. California DeJarnett--it's WHITE outside my porch! Ah, but you made up for it w/ the wine comment. ;)
Thanks for the back-up on the wine from you too, Kelsey. Empty classrooms---that sounds like an awesome place to write!

I'm usually on the sofa, but I'm kinda thinking about cleaning out the closet under the stairs....there's enough room for a small desk and it would give me all the quiet/privacy I need!
