Sounds like you need to revisit the whole Feng Shui thing.

I’m with you on the books, GGMIL (full disclosure: this is my mother-in-law). I feel like a little bit of my identity will go away if I get rid of the books. Or what if I really had an inescapable urge to read the Orestia? Which has not happened since college, but still, the idea of one day updating it as a modern screenplay is still attractive.

Thank you for reading, GG and Stephanie. And Cerentha, but you have to as you are my editor.

It has taken me 74 years to learn to put things away when I finish them, into a labeled folder. I try to shred as I go (as long as I am in the office where the shredder is) Books!!!That’s my downfall. I have stacks of books, shelves of books, folders of How To books, today’s reading book, my Kindle (which I haven’t learned to use yet). I am the kind of person who thinks the written word is priceless. I have now learned to stand over the wastebasket when I sort the mail, put the “to pay” bills on my side table. Isn’t that good? The problem is my side table now has stacks of “to do” things on it that used to be on my desk. I have a husband who thinks anything on a horizontal surface is “clutter”. Makes no difference if it is “decor”. All is clutter. This is a battle that has gone on for 54 years. I don’t think it will end soon.

Thanks, YES I am much more motivated to work without the distraction of stuff I have to deal with staring me in the face. I do have a long way to go, as we worked through tax stuff yesterday and I couldn’t find a crucial piece of information I was looking for. So now the mission: each thing in its place.

That’s a good question…is it easier working in the space now your desk is clear?

Looking very tidy and full of character. It looks like YOUR space. Nice work!

Is your writing coming more easily?
