A place to write...

They're building my home office today.. and I am so excited. This picture is not of my office, but the colors etc., of the wood, the walls, carpet and drapes are the same. I love the neutral palate of warm earth tones and for me, they allow me to relax and feel at home while I create charaters and worlds so different from my own. That said, once my office is done and set up, I'll take a picture and post it.

I've always worked and perhaps not having an office to go to for the last 8 months since I have retired has made me miss a defined "work space". I can write anywhere and mostly the distractions of life, people etc., don't bother me. But I do feel more productive when I have a place to organize myself, my tools and my research. If I am to be completely truthful I also feel that having this space will enable me to take myself and my writing seriously.

My choice as a career has always been to be a novelist, above all, period. I have been good at many other things I have done and have excelled at, due to primarily, hard work and a strong work ethic. I believe those characteristics among so many other things, will be required to continue and move ahead with my goal of becoming a successful, published novelist.

I have big goals and dreams for myself and what I want to achieve in this next part of my life and having this office is the next tangible step for me towards this goal. I'm so ready I can taste it... and tomorrow my post will be done from there! Have I mentioned that I am excited???
