My Writing Space by Eileen Gormely
I love closing the door, and
surrounding myself by my peaceful haven of books and paper and pens, so
suitable for writing a masterpiece. Er, not so much. It’s a lovely
dream, but miles away from where I actually work.
I write in the
extension. This is best described as a garden shed attached to the
house. One entire wall is lined with tools, nuts, bolts, oil, glue,
paint, drill bits and discarded kettles.
Another wall is lined with the washing machine, freezer and laundry baskets.
I
work at an old sewing table. The sewing machine has gone to the great
recycling yard in the sky, but the table still has the foot pedals and
reel holders, and that’s where my laptop lives. It’s tucked in between
two book cases, so I can grab dictionaries and reference books without
having to get up.
When I was writing my last Regency, the table
was piled twelve deep with memoirs, history books, 19th century
dictionaries, and maps of the Peninsula. But for The Pleasures of
Winter, it accumulated a lot of kinky paraphernalia that I hope no one
will ask me about.
Under the table is the guinea pig who keeps a
wary eye out for the cat, but likes to play with my toes when I’m
writing. The hamster is in a cage beside the table, and the cat likes to
come in and watch it, hoping for the day when the door is not properly
closed and it can get at the hamster.
The question everyone asks
when they see where I work is: Why? The house isn’t that small that I
couldn’t find a corner that would be more comfortable to work in.
But
the extension has two big advantages. One, it has huge windows and more
natural light than anywhere else in the house. And two, it’s right
beside the kitchen, and a regular source of caffeine. What else is
important?
