ELOISA SHARES HER NEST


One of the greatest things about being a writer is that you get to write at home.  In your home office.  You know all those jokes explaining to your boss why you fell asleep at your desk?  ("It was a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve stress!").  Well, writers can just gracefully fall into their own beds when it’s naptime.  Which is a good thing because if you happen to be Eloisa, there isn’t enough room on that desk to take a nap…

I’m slightly horrified by exposure of my nest, but I’m figuring it might be inspirational for those of you whose desks approach mine.  And did you know that there’s a new book out there proclaiming that over-organization leads to lack of good ideas and lost creativity?  Think of me as the poster child for that book!  So here’s my desk:image In case you’re wondering, I am reading all those books.  Today.  The daffodils are from my back garden.  The quilt on the wall has all the covers of my books and was a Christmas present from my amazing assistant, Kim.
