Hi Everyone!
So anyone who’s been reading my blog for the last four months knows that my husband [Al] and I have been building our own house [a cabin actually], for the last few years. This last week we finished up the built-in’s in my nifty new writing space! I now have file drawers and regular drawers, cubbies and nooks, and a few crannies for little stuff. Yay!
So for the next week I am moving in there. Unloading boxes and organizing years of work. I can’t believe I have a writing space after years of making due. That said, what I learned from making due is that although the space is nice, real nice, it’s not necessary to get the writing done. In fact over the last three or four years my home has been upside down much of the time but I still managed to produce more work, sitting on my couch or in my bed with my laptop, a few books and my puppies scattered around me, than I had in previous years.
The lesson was a good one. I spent a lot of time thinking about writing, talking about how I was going to write when conditions were right for me to do so; which is funny to me now cuz it didn’t end up working that way at all. Oh how I love the adventure of life! Anywho, I look forward to getting back to it soon. I have a notebook in my back pocket to jot down all my significant thoughts and I’ll pick up with comments and posts when I get back!

Oh!! How exciting! A room/space of your own;) Congratulations on all these new beginnings Leslie. You deserve all things wonderful.
Hugs!
Thank you Leah! I have your book. Finishing up the last few pages of the one I’m reading and then yours!
Have fun making your new space your own. Maybe you will find something that inspires a blog while unpacking boxes. I love when that happens.
I have already run across some old work that I’d forgotten! I have bins of writing. Man, I have a whole lot to say! Wink.
That’s great Leslie! I love that my book will be in your hands and in your brandy new surroundings;)
Big smile. Hugs.
Looking forward to hearing what will come from your new space. Congratulations on the move
Thank you!
Awaiting your return. Wonder if you’ll write differently from a “real” writing space? I write this comment from bed, where I have been banished, after relinquishing my writing room to my youngest. Writing in bed is no fun at all. Please include photo of new cabin so I can drool in envy.
Hi Anna! This little note made me so happy! Oh how I know the writing from my bed scene. I promise to get some pics of my cabin once my gardens are blooming so you can see it! Wink. Oh I LOVE my new space! So much room and mine mine mine. I also found some very old work that needs some revision so I have plenty to work with. Boy is it good to be back! Of course as always when I move back from my writing work I go through a bit of a wrangle to bring myself back to the page. Now that I’m here and have hit publish today, it’s feels like YES!!!
Best wishes on the move in…
