I have to drive 5 miles and get behind my locked door with my coffee!

(I have a writing chair for me and my laptop in my studio!)

Oh yes, I remember your studio! And I see you had a fun, messy, productive day!

I looooove this post. I love seeing everyone's workspace.

Mine is, sadly, on the edge of my dining room table. Since I work while I'm taking care of the kids, I have to be able to run in, sit down for a minute or two, then run off. I have to be in the middle of the chaos. It isn't ideal. If I do get the opportunity to work with a closed door, I get a lot more done, but that's rare!!

You are unBELIEVably productive for someone with such limited uninterrupted time! :-)

I need a door. I think I need one, or should have one. Maybe. My husband bought us a house with a spare room for an office, so I'd have a door. But somehow I let my daughter convince me to let her put her desk and computer in here also. But I have a door! Can I close it? No...the dogs go wild if they're shut out...or in. But I have one. A door.

I actually do more writing longhand at the kitchen table anyway. But no door...

Neat post :) My computer is set up in my husband's office (with a door) -- I can write there when he's not here. When he's there with me, I tend to focus on other things (like my paying online job). We're getting a laptop, and that will help me (as I can take it to places where others aren't)...I mostly just need my family to let me write (which they're not so good about, despite the door).

A laptop is possibly the best investment any writer can make. :-)

I love this post! Deva's purple walls are my favorite. I'm totally fascinated by other authors' writing spaces.

We're in the process of converting our guest room into an office. It's my favorite room, with "cucumber-mint" walls, and it never gets used. It'll be my husband's during the day (playwright/reporter) and mine at night. I just today ordered a big comfy chair and a desk and a bookshelf. Now I just have to wait 4 weeks for it all to arrive. *taps foot impatiently*
