And I wonder what will happen once my daughter starts discovering the 'rest of the house'. But when you are a writer at heart, you write because you must and a spot to call your own can make the rest of the world fade just enough for you to get the words down on screen/paper.Kedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467573541576582062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14632274.post-29364716405789024062010-07-16T21:43:43.658-05:002010-07-16T21:43:43.658-05:00Very nice!

My writing corner has a wall of bookshelves, a red couch, my computer and the presence of my dog, Buddy Love.<br /><br />It used to be the kids play room, but since they're older, I claimed it for myself.katdishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210738418270395622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14632274.post-82244464886871934622010-07-15T22:48:04.332-05:002010-07-15T22:48:04.332-05:00Of course Virginia was talking as much about psych...Of course Virginia was talking as much about psychological/emotional space as she was physical space. Your painting and picture and other artifacts testify to your claiming both in your corner. Your grandma Bobby shared with me an enthusiasm for Piet Hein, a Dane who wrote little aphoristic poems called Grooks (in Danish, Gruks). All the talk here about the chaos in our respective corners (I have managed to mess up more than one myself) puts me in mind of his Grook titled, "Oh Bother"<br /><br /> What with one thing<br /> and another<br /> people bother.<br /><br /> With a third thing<br /> and a fourth it <br /> isn't worth it.<br /><br />Half or more of the fun of Grooks, though, is the line drawings he did for each one. I'll see if I can scan the one for this Grook and email you the file.agschneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862089448211188789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14632274.post-60850425269845813652010-07-15T21:59:54.652-05:002010-07-15T21:59:54.652-05:00I want a corner like yours!

No matter how clean I keep things, a corner of the kitchen counter, surrounded by kids, is just not, uh, peaceful.<br /><br />Great piece!Missyhttp://www.wonderfriend.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14632274.post-35619978140016584802010-07-15T18:55:30.915-05:002010-07-15T18:55:30.915-05:00You guys are funny - you don't think I totally...You guys are funny - you don't think I totally shoveled off the desk before I snapped photos???

Mine? Oh. Well... I can't actually see the surface, and have moved my laptop over to the kitchen table because balancing it on the pile would just be foolhardy.
