Everyone is a little different. We each gravitate toward our own “favorite spots” in terms of where we like to read and work. Writers tend to be a very particular bunch in terms of surroundings and setup. For me–I can work just about anywhere; but when I read, I like to be curled up on the couch with a blanket and a beverage. Reading outdoors is another pleasure, but one I tend to do mostly on vacation.

Writer’s Digest published an article I enjoyed immensely about the workspace of different writers. It showed a picture of their desk and described their setup. It was fun to peek inside the lives of other people who do what I do and see both the similarities and the differences.

The inspiration behind this post is that I am about to set up a new workspace for myself soon, and I’m putting a little bit of thought into how I want it to look. It got me thinking about my favorite places and my preferred arrangement. I’m not sure I have it down yet, but I’m getting there….

How’s your workspace? Is it in need of an update? Or perhaps you have a great tip you’d like to share with others? As for me, perhaps once I get all settled in, I’ll share a pic of my new digs…
