My Current Dream Writing Space

Someday, my Actual Writing Space and my Dream Writing Space will be the same.

For now, I mostly sit at my dining room table, which is not what's in the first picture here, by the way. That is my kitchen table, with a nice view, plenty of light, more comfortable chairs. My Current Dream Writing Space.

My Actual Writing Space is my dining table, and it is basically in the living room (it wouldn't fit in the kitchen). The living room is on the side of the house that doesn't get sunlight, so it is very dark and the lamps don't really help that much.

It is also where after a couple hours my back starts to hurt, because my my feet don't touch the floor when sitting on the dining room chairs because I have short legs. This strains my lower back so I can hardly sit, and basically makes me not want to work.

It is also happens to be where my family hangs out most of the time, the couch and TV just to the left. 

Though I like to think my real Dream Writing Place is off on a beach somewhere alone, I find I always wander back to this dining room table. (which we ARE trying to sell to downsize...to much furniture, but that is another story.....)

I find I suffer through the back pain and dark cave-like space so that I am not removed from the activity of the ones I love to be around. Even the kitchen is sometimes a bit far removed.

Occasionally, I DO move my laptop, music, and everything to the kitchen and set up there. I put on mu fuzzy socks, and get to writing. It is bright, I get a nice view of nature, and I actually get a lot done.

But eventually I get tired of being out of the action, so far removed,  (being so close to our parrots gets old too, but that is another story) and back to the dining table I go.

In the end, it really doesn't matter where I write. The important thing is that I get to write. I am living the dream no matter where I am. I get to write, share my silly thoughts and inspirations. Now, if I could make a living doing it, then I would have to pinch myself.

If I could make a living doing it, then I could really get my dream writing space. Like here for instance.

And I will trade in my car for this.

If I could just figure out how to get paid for writing, I will truly be living the dream.
