Where Writing Gets Done

Here you see my beauteous wife Kristine, modeling my office (which she has just cleaned; previously it looked like a bookstore had exploded inside of it). This is where nearly all of my writing gets done, because, for a start, this is where my computers are. But how does it match up with the work spaces of other writers? Are their writing spaces more exotic, or more practical, or just plain more interesting? The Guardian newspaper in the UK invites itself into the writing spaces of notable authors, including JG Ballard, AS Byatt and David Hare, to give you a glimpse at where all those words are coming from (in a physical, if not metaphysical, sense).

What does your writing space look like?

    LOL a couch in the living room of a tiny apartment.

    Not even enough room to swing a cat, because I tried it (Sorry whiskers.)

    Funny you should ask. I posted a photo of my writing corner about a month ago. My wife is responsible too. http://www.brainofshawn.com/2007/03/13/how-sweet-she-is/

    My writing space is quite variable.

    It’s wherever I happen to be sitting with my laptop.
