Can't get enough of contests? Our summer contest, A Midsummer Tale, is currently open for entries. Details here.
]]>Where do you write? Do you have a dedicated home office with a desk and a chair? Is your "office" tucked in a corner of another room--or a closet? Do you write at your dining room table, on the sofa, or in bed? Do you prefer to write in public spaces--coffeeshop? library? outdoors?
Do you have a window with an inspiring view? Have you filled a blank wall with an inspiration board or photos? Is your space minimalist or filled with talismans? What do you love about your writing space? What would you change if you could?
Send a photo of your writing space along with a paragraph or two describing it and its influence on your writing to beaver[at]toasted-cheese.com with the subject line "AB - My Writing Space."
If there is enough interest, this may become a series.
]]>Contest details are here. Deadline for entries: June 21.
Questions? There's a thread for that.
