Workspace

I noticed from Toby Buckell’s blog that people are posting pictures of their workspaces, and I thought I’d join in.

My workspace is in the “eat-in” area of my kitchen. I like the location because I can see most of the house from here, and I have a gorgeous view of the backyard. (The backyard sold me on this house. I love my backyard.)

Here’s the actual workspace (taken while I was standing on the kitchen counter ;-)): The windows to the right of the desk look out on the back porch and backyard, and the one to the left looks onto the front living room and the front door. I use the Levenger desks for editing. (I actually don’t recommend the one I have there to the left–it drives me crazy.)

The kitchen is directly behind my chair, and the living room with the TV is behind and to my right. I’m readily accessible to the kids (I’ve never had a problem blocking noise), and I can keep an eye on them as well. It works well for me!

And here’s my view of the backyard (seen through the back porch screen):

It’s a light-filled workspace, and I enjoy it.

  1. Speaking of pictures, there’s one of you at the World Fantasy Awards Banquet in the centerfold of the January Locus.

  2. Good heavens! I look at the pic of your backyard and half expect Elmore Leonard to emerge wrasslin’ a gator and dropping off a ms.

  3. That workroom is really neat! A very unusual design. Is there any history to it (such as the squirrel access port in our closet, or the way the downstairs bathroom looks out into the basement access stairs), or did it come with the house?

  4. No, it was already here. It’s actually the eat-in area of my kitchen, where a small dining table would usually go. :)

  5. Wow. Your tidiness shames me. :)

    I’ll have to post a picture of my workspace soon so you can see what I mean…
