Challenge Accepted: The Blogger’s Desk
Over at Bookends, Cindy and Lynn are doing something fun. In honor of one of their favorite out-of-print gems, The Writer’s Desk by Jill Krementz, they’ve shared where they do their blogging. While no one can outdo Cindy’s Tiki bar, they’re encouraging others to share where they get their work done.
Here’s my annotated downstairs blogging cave:

Love it. My books are piled all over my livingroom and kitchen counters and kitchen table, and bedside table. Shelves. Huh. What a grand idea. Thanks for playing!
So fun to see!
Travis, I hope that this maudlin blogging career doesn’t come to an end. (Sorry, I’ve stretched the lyric to the point of nonsense. But that’s a fantastic album.)
