Bookshelves!

Okay, I'd love it if my tiny office looked like this-




But it doesn't.

However, it looks better than it did last week.

I had no bookshelves in my working space, but tons of books.
Not good for a former librarian to have books willy-nilly.


Rocky the Rock Star dog did not approve.









 And writers have TONS of notes. At least I do.

 I keep all my writing ideas in bags. Easy to transport.

(At least till I have time to transfer them to Scrivener.)







So we cleared out a closet.

(Husband is handy. He painted, spackled, and got it ready. Thanks, Jay!)

And now- Voilà! I can see everything I need to see.




Of course, the books keep coming. I think I will need more shelves. Very soon.

    I love all the whiteness! My office is knotty pine which I love but I do miss the light airiness of white paint.

    Love, LOVE the closet bookshelf! Along with writing, I also delight in clearing clutter and making a space pretty while doing so.

    Very nice. I saw some space on a couple of those shelves -- better get 'em filled quickly! Then you can do what i do and stack them on the floor. But it's a great feeling to be organized, even if only for a few minutes. I cleaned out my office closet yesterday and felt so accomplished. You can always tell when I'm supposed to be writing...

    Joyce, in Florida, the whiteness seems to work best in a small room like my office (which can be converted to a guest room at a moment's notice!).
    I think some writers may feel their most creative surrounded by clutter but not me! Love the order. Now if I could just translate that to orderly, concise, perfect sentences.

    Thanks for all the comments. Now back those two boxes of books that UPS just dropped off...
