Creative Space - Stephanie Gunn

Creative Space
Stephanie Gunn

My writing "room" consists of one fixed object - the laptop. I've always preferred writing fiction on a laptop rather than a desktop. I suspect a lot of that comes from the fact that I wrote a PhD thesis on a desktop. Arthritis makes it difficult for me to sit at a desk for hours on end, so the couch is a comfortable compromise.

Note also the ugg boots underneath the coffee table and the blanket - both essential in the cooler weather. On most days the laptop would also be joined by a mug of tea or bottle of water. Note also the (semi) optional cat, who is usually trying to get onto my lap (even though the laptop is already there) or smooching up and distracting me.

Not visible is the television and DVD shelves. I like to write to visuals as well as music sometimes - at the moment, writing is being accompanied by "The X Files" or "Battlestar Galactica".

I'll be moving to a larger home soon and am looking forward to setting up a more permanent writing area. Knowing me, the laptop will probably end up exactly where it is here again.
