Writing moments


There are days like today, when I just want to self-indulge in the lonely space of my white Ikea desk where writing is my only goal and pleasure.

There are days like today when I contemplate on the words in my life and the life I put into words. 

There are days like today, when Gabrielle Bouliane's poem is just the kind of jolt I need.



Share with me. Is there some place in your house, where you can just be ?


Take care.
Suma.

I love love love the seclusion of my bedroom. Reading in bed and writing on my laptop is a great thing to do. Although with my two little kids those times are a rare treat :-)

Wow! That video spoke to me. That is the whole reason I am here, writing today. Life IS too short. You’re site is very inspirational.

My writing “command post” (that’s what my husband calls it) is set up in my bedroom. My husband put together a beautiful set-up for me and it almost looks like a ship’s post from the SS Enterprise. lol

I'm fortunate to have a den. Upstairs. Open-beam ceiling. Cat sleeping in the corner. View of the bay through my window.

@Madhu - I can see where that's going:-). I love to be in sleep mode too.

@Angela - Im sure reading in bed with breakfast is something we'll crave for.

@Debra - So happy you loved the video....Command post! Thats interesting wording:-)

@Anthony - You're out to make all of us feel jealous. Oooh, what a great writing space.

Powerful video.

I love my sofa. I curl up with my laptop or a notebook and write away.

I usually writer in my office, but love to take my laptop around to different parts of my house. I'm usually trying to find a quiet spot, away from the giggling kiddos:) What a moving video!

I too would say...my bedroom. This is where I do all my mischief and blog!

Yes, our den! I usually write at my desk, but edit sitting on a big, green, puffy chair! I like to outline at our kitchen table, but that only works when everyone else is out of the house or quiet.

Hope 2012 is off to a great start! :)
