When all else fails, rearrange the furniture

Yesterday, I had some prep to do for a new write-session starting this morning. I also had promised myself that I would — finally — write an Author’s Bio. So what did I do? I rearranged the furniture in my study.

Some iterations ago

Honestly, it felt great. The space is renewed and so am I! It makes a difference to touch and move things that have been static. But, you know that.

Moved SC research & put writing books here instead.
Piled up old travel & garden books & made space for historic fiction

Many of the books to be given away were given to me when someone else moved and have not been looked at. I mean, not even once. Those were the easy books to put on the Out-the-Door pile. Travel guides, too, especially because they’re twenty plus years old.

Today’s incarnation
Placed a photo of my ancestors here

Later I’ll come back and pin point the attributes to Mo, Grace, Maggie, Jude, Michelle, Natalie. Gotta fly!

    love your copper clock and the green lamp … and of course, tipping my head sideways to read the book titles (Writing Alone sitting next to Writing Down the Bones is a great pairing … have you read NG’s Living Color?)

    playing in that space, moving things around, weeding your book collection (giving yourself a chance to smile over the ones you keep) … all sounds like much more fun than writing an author bio
