A writing room is a wonderful thing. I don’t have one myself–my writing space doubles as my bedroom–but I like to imagine what it would look like if I did. The Guardian has a special section in Books called Writers’ Rooms, with snapshots of spaces from Roald Dahl’s (room pictured here) to Virginia Woolf’s to Jonathan Safran Foer’s. Included is commentary on the room, either directly from the writer or posthumously in several cases. I loved reading a writer’s impressions of how his/her room influences (or doesn’t) the writing, particularly Russell Hoban’s comment, “Here you see some of the clutter but you can’t see the danger.” Check it out if you have a bit of time to spare–perhaps you’ll find some inspiration for your own writing room/space/attic/basement/office/Panera.
