Before I sold my first book, I just had a desk in the corner. After I signed that contract, I got rid of the bed and took over the whole space.<BR/><BR/>I love it up here in what I call my "garret".

There were also many pics of authors in their hot tubs.)<BR/><BR/>But I digress. . . anyway, the reason she used that picture was because it represented where she worked. In the tub.

Then my husband built a desk for me in a corner of the den. But it felt cramped and not private enough. When we moved to FL, I got my own room. An actual room with four walls and a door that I could close.

I'm always looking for inspirational office photos to show the dh in an effort to get him to understand how badly I need a space of my own.
