What is your work space like?

[Malik]

That room is coming along nicely and the desk is a nice piece. Funny I also call my office the Fortress of Solitude.

Seeing your space inspired me to make serious plans for mine, frankly.

I keep telling myself I'm going to add more stuff to it, but when I sit down behind this desk, I realize how soothing I find blank walls. I'm getting a rug this weekend, and other than a 21" monitor that's coming today, I think that's going to be it. Eventually I'm going to hang a fancier door and triple-pane the windows. i'll get my wife to take some photos with a decent camera this weekend.

Fancy. Just needs a booze cabinet, a bear rug, a fridge, a couch and some miscellaneous wall decorations and you've made my dream office.

Just found this and it reminded me of the thread I started way back when. I've moved my office since then.

This is my desk, looking like a tornado hit it, as always. I have Skype up on one side so I can communicate with our co-author in Texas.

This is my wife's desk, notably much neater than mine. She handles all our marketing and public appearances, and usually stuff like this as you can see by my inability to get the picture upright. >.< Note the sexy gaming computer on her desk. I have such grabby hands! lol

Before you upload the image simple right click it and click on 'turn right', or something like that. On my french system it is 'faire pivoter à droite'.

(and you can also upload images directly to a thread by clicking on upload file )

Thank you so much! I'll give that a try next time.

Random stacks of paper, dice, candy wrappers, wacom, lots of coins, wood-burning kit, 900 cc plastic cup from the hospital.

Thought you were describing my desk for a second, there.

Posted this in another thread, but here's the Fortress of Solitude as it stands, today.

Malik stop being so stylish and organized, you're making me look bad.

 

[Svrtnsse]

Well, gosh darn it, now I have to go to the pub. To take a picture, of course.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS.

- Coffee
- Swiss Army knife
- Good beer
- Aspirin
- Pens
- Random sticky note
- Cover in case you need to run out unexpectedly; bonus points for what looks like a beaten-in Ranger roll.

And a tiny little pencil sharpener in the shape of a guitar If you like this, I bet you'd love all the other memorabilia (junk) I have scattered around the place. Hats, mugs, posters, mini rugby balls, a 1980s globe that lights up, more bottles some full, a load of instruments...I may or may not be in the early stages of becoming a hoarder.

I also really need that little table you have, including the typewriter and the bottles.

That table is a weird thing. It's a hammered metal disc with a raised edge, completely rusted. I don't know what it originally was or where it came from. My wife's family were art and antiquities dealers (hence the desk), and the trust recently disbursed a whole bunch of odds and ends throughout the family that have no provenance and are therefore unsellable. For all we know, that table could have been part of the campaign tent of Ogadai Khan against the Jin Dynasty, although it's equally possible that her grandma found it at the Crate & Barrel on Beverly.

Okay, bragging time. My apartment is being renovated at the moment (and for the last month and a half). During that time I've done most of my writing at Mr. Bradley's Bar here in Cork. Usually, if I get in early enough, the spot by the fireplace will still be available. On a cold evening, people will come stand next to me and warm their butts by the fire.

so instead of using it, I wrote the last novel sitting propped up in bed with a laptop.

My workspace is called locked in my room on my bed where no one can get to me and surrounded by piles of notebooks, pencils and pens because using a laptop or a computer makes far too much sense and is way easier. Apparently I like to make my life more difficult than it should be.
