My office

Okay, my printer is still languishing on the table and I have a few boxes displaced, but mostly I am functional, which is amazing. I have located my books, my special shelf, added lighting, cleaned window ledges and began decorating the walls and shelves. After the Thanksgiving weekend I will be working in my office and functional.

Yesterday I carted some bins to the basement. Old manuscripts and writing notes do not all need to be in the office. They simply need to be accessible, somewhere I can find them.

I am fortunate my wonderful husband does not suggest throwing them out. I have a hard time parting with my writing notes, I may need them, someday, for another story. Understand that many of them are hand written, on irregular paper like napkins, placemats, and paper towels. Nobody ever said the writing process was orderly.
