One year ago I posted a photo of the office, complete with some delectable venison stew. It was less than a month after I'd started blogging and I took fifteen photos in an effort to get the best one possible. This year, as a seasoned blogger, I took two and did not do anything in preparation for the shoot. I was even too lazy to get a camera and just used my phone.
Before you look at the photos, there are a few things to keep in mind: I am channeling my characters (teenage boys), I am a student, and I have not been working in this space lately (you'll see why).
Now, THAT is the workspace of a creative mind. No reason to feel ashamed at all, so it's good you don't. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this view--because you look so collected and neat and organized when we skype. What else are you hiding? And, how did I forget about this? I might have to update my post.
ReplyDeletehaha! I SO LOVE THIS!
ReplyDeleteHonesty rocks.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha! I should feel ashamed but I don't. :)
ReplyDeleteJon, I am so not the best housekeeper and when family would come over, my mom would wonder why I wasn't embarrassed my house was messy. I said, "You all know how I am!" I didn't care! Though now I have to care since we are showing our house and I've learned to be quite the domestic diva I guess...
I think a mess indicates you're too busy writing to clean. Right? Right? At least that's what I tell myself when the mountain of to-be-folded laundry climbs up my wall and I avoid touching it because I need to write just one more scene...
ReplyDeleteI love it, Jon. As the mother of a teenage boy, you have the room down to the ground.
ReplyDeleteJon, I see why you don't work in that room. The wallpaper is atrocious! Robb :)
ReplyDeleteLooks mighty comfy to me!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems a little cluttered for me but I think if you feel comfortable there then you no one else's opinion matters.
ReplyDeleteI say whatever makes your creative juices flow is great!
ReplyDeleteI heart you even more right now... *scampers off to post a pic on the ole' blog*
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME! I want to come over and roll around in it and drink diet Pepsi and eat chips and then burp and go home and tell Husband that you have a mess! :) You rock!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Anita! Never ashamed!! Proud and busy and writing. Most importantly writing.
ReplyDeleteAh, such is life. We've all BTDT! Oh, well. At least *I* have. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's fun seeing people's spaces. I'm too lazy to even take the picture/upload it/post it. See how I am? Next time. WARN me. You know how out of the loop I am.
If my husband wasn't such a neat freak, that is exactly what my whole house would look like.
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it! Whatever gets the creative juices flowing, I say. I often write on my bed. I have two office spaces in this house, and I WRITE ON MY BED!! What is wrong with me? Ah well, you can't help how, when, and where you get inspiration. Plus, I'm all about the comfort.
ReplyDeleteThis. This is why I <3 you. :)
ReplyDeleteYoung man, don't you DARE clean up that room. You better get working with Kelly, whose blog is where I found you! ***hi***
