I finally finished setting up a new writing workspace for myself. It's in the room I am calling "The Library," but which any other normal person would probably refer to as a computer room, office, or spare bedroom.
I think it's pretty fair to call it a library since it has a good number of books in it. There's probably like 500 or so. So that's a library, right? Besides, I think library has a nicer ring to it. What's that? Where am I working on my new novel? Why in my home library of course! I am so very literary. Fear me.

Of course, the living room is also handling quite a bit of book overflow. So are the bedrooms. But there can only be one library in the house and it is my writing space.
I was inspired to set up a new area for myself because we got a new computer. It's an iMac and it pretty much rocks (except I cannot figure out how to right click on it. How am I supposed to open a web page in another window, Steve Jobs?). Before, I was using the laptop, which I would just tote from room to room. This usually meant that I would be trying to type the next great American novel while an episode of 30 Rock was blaring in the background.
So, I'm hoping this new workspace will help me stay more focused on my writing. Now I can just go somewhere and write and the words will magically form themselves into Beauty and Meaning and Art.
Oh, pictures, right. I took some today. Feast upon the glory that is The Library!
My desk, complete with ethereal rays of sunlight streaming in:
My new computer (note my beloved Jane, who stands close by to watch over my work):
On the other side of the room, another desk where the laptop can now rest and bill paying can be done (Oh, the organization! I can hardly stand it!):
My reading nook. The chair is actually pretty comfy:
