Just Perfect

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Dear friend,

The very thought of building my own space for reading and writing has been in my head for as long as I can remember.

I always wanted a dedicated room for my books, my own library. Wall to wall book shelves with a desk sitting sideways into the room so I can look out of the window.

Actually I have upgraded my plans since I first made them to include a second desk back to back, one for pc and one for writing ✍🏽.

The room will be white with a plain carpet and will have a couple of bucket seats to finish the room.

That is my ideal quiet place to study and read,

Since I was a child I have dreamt of this, oh I have amassed a sizeable amount of books for my library on most topics. I have my desks and pc plus I am writing more.

All I need is the room and at last slowly and painfully I am putting a room together, my dream will become my reality

This is when I say dreams do come true, I am 58 it’s been a long time, but wow, wow and I say again wow this will be my favourite, most loved room in all my house.

My own library/reading/writing space/room. My place of quiet thoughts

Bye for now and take care

Perfect, just what is perfect?

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

Dear Readers,

This prompt that has landed today is a conundrum indeed. I always had in mind my perfect writing space, it would be like an old fashioned study. Wall to wall books a large desk, leather topped, with a cosy reading chair in the corner by a fire . My desk would overlook the countryside (being brought up on a farm that seemed feasible when my ideas started) or even over a garden.

Time eroded those ideas of perfect. I have my mini library 📚 approx 1500 books and I have my leather topped desk. But what I forgot to add was peace, the kind where your brain is not frazzled, where you can relax and let your mind unfold and your stories flow. What I have learnt is there is no perfect place to be creative with your pen or laptop. Creativity is in your mind and that means in truth a perfect space can be a battered briefcase or a satchel even an over large handbag store your essentials in that and creative brain can and will travel.

I can snuggle in my chair, lie on my bed, go sit by a pool or have a coffee at a cafe all are places I can sit and read.

My dear readers how can you experience perfect when there is a world of chaos to experience, be a part of that world and find a nook or ledge and there you have your canvas start writing

I can guarantee that as soon as you achieve your perfect anything thought or otherwise, human nature is to keep tweaking it, changing because we are never happy . So as I said I no longer look for perfect ideas I take what I see and make it suit me.

Till the next time
