Cleverly cropped so that you miss most of the garage sale bags.
This is my favorite corner of my apartment. I moved here a few years ago from a two-bedroom apartment where my books/office/TV had their own room. Now they have a pocket in the living room.
And what an adorable pocket it is.
The writing nook is where I do most of my at-home writing. There’s something about being surrounded by the words of others that inspires me to write my own.
It also blocks my view of other places in the apartment that might need cleaning or work, which is my main distraction when I write.
This is where I spent most of my Saturday, between loads of laundry and plates of leftovers. A good week is one where I have at least one full day when I don’t leave the apartment at all and I can get some things done around the house. It’s good to have a day to remember that I actually live there rather than coming in, dumping things in the floor, and falling into bed.
I don’t get that day every week, so when I do, I savor it.
Staying home to write and putter around the house and yard have become heavenly to me. After all those years of working outside the home, I find I’m a homebody at heart.
Me, too. My favorite places used to be out somewhere in town, but now they’re almost all places I can go without shoes.
