Writing Wall

So since cattraine posted some writing related pictures, I thought I'd share with you what I'm generally staring at when my characters are refusing to speak to me and I can't figure out where I'm going next in that story y'all are harping...er begging...er asking me when it's going to be finished. All those post-it notes? Those are the random things that have spilled out of my brain that just can't keep up anymore.

Half of the top is free right now because I haven't decided where I want to look other than England and Scotland or if I want to stare at people I know. I generally don't put up pictures of actors, etc because that is just waaay too distracting.

Now if someone wants to listen to me ramble about some of my original characters and draw me some pictures.... :-)

Anyway. Yes, um, it is normally this messy...actually this is clean....and yes those really are stuffed animals. There are three bears--all 3 were either given to me or bought for a reason.

I guess that's it, you can ask about something, but I can't promise I'll answer.

Wow!
There is a lot of stuff around your desk!

Mine is nearly empty and I can't write a word if it is not. Do you hear music while writing?

Haha, I know. It really is. And my desk at the other house is actually worse and doesn't have nearly the notes or anything.

I honestly got used to being buried under at least 3 feet of stuff while I was teaching because so many years I had just a desk (if that) somewhere and didn't have a room of my own. And 9 times out of 10 I can find exactly what I'm looking for when someone asks me for it--it freaks people out. There is organization to my chaos!

Um...in my head? Or do I listen to music? I actually have a TV just to my...left (yes its sad I had to stop and think) and a lot of times I listen to that while I'm writing. I rarely listen to music because I used to sing and I tend to get distracted by actually singing if I listen.

Compared to mine, it's really tidy! Not even mentioning that in general, I've got a cat sprawled on a half of it...

Duuude, if mine's tidy compared to yours. Wowza! And I don't have a kitty at my gramma's :-(

Thanks for giving us a look at your colourful work area, that is kinda cool! Wished mine looked as neat. If your opened up the cabinets would they look as cool?

Thank you :-) I actually have no idea what's inside the cabinets...because the desk doesn't actually belong to me. That is the desk I use at my gramma's house so it's kinda...the desk is my grandfather's (who passed away four years ago) and we've been slowly getting rid of his stuff. But gramma does not want to get rid of the desk. Meanwhile--she's not cleaned all of it out.

I like that desk a lot. My granddaddy passed away in 1991 and there's still some things Grandma still hasn't changed at all that were his.

This also makes me look around my area here in the woodshop and realize I have to try and figure out some way to organize and all since I probably won't be able to get anything done with my laptop for a while still. *sigh*

And I love your pics you look at!

Peace, Love, and Giggles,
