At the moment, because of an injury, the most comfortable place for me to sit right now is on the side of the bed. My “desk” is a veneered pressboard shelf my wife bought for me. It sits across the upper support brackets, but under the hand grips, of an old-fashioned walker, the kind some folks put tennis balls on the legs. It works. Someday I’ll have an office again. But until then, I shall use my walker/veneer shelf desk as if it were the finest teak and mahogany desk in the world. Thank you for your article.

And as an ordained minister, I especially appreciate your bio stating for Whom you work.

I’d love my own writing room but we don’t have room in the house. Currently I wear headphones in the kitchen or write in my bedroom, where my desk is. Any suggestions?

Hi, Karen! Thank you for your lovely comment. 🙂 I am so glad you enjoyed the article! (I am guilty of writing from bed at times too. 😉 )

I Am going to pick up my notebook and write a To Do List. In capitals. I can’t forget I’ve written a To Do List, if the evidence is right in front of me in the morning. Now where did I put my pen?

I absolutely agree. I love having a bookcase in my workspace too.

Thanks, Jill! 🙂

Yes, it’s such an essential part of one’s writing process.

Thanks so much, Mehar!

So happy to hear you enjoyed it, Rachel! 🙂 Me too.
