My writing room
April 6, 2009Angela Meyer at the Literaryminded blog, one of Crikey’s regulars, has started a ‘writers’ rooms’ series emulating The Guardian’s. I confess to being a huge stickybeak for these things. My own writing room is on Literaryminded today, followed by a couple of comments about messiness. Ah well… I like to think of those great photos of Francis Bacon’s studio, to make me feel better.
I am rather desperately trying to think of a link between this and food – basically there is none. But you can probably tell from this picture what my kitchen work space sometimes looks like …. I promise it’s not that bad … always ..

I hate the way you can’t correct your own typos once you prematurely press ‘submit comment’!!! AAAARGH!!! I meant everything.
