With my new work schedule, it's even more of a challenge.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

My desk is spotless, everything is in its respective folder in my credenza. Even the notes tacked on my wall are all evenly spaced and aligned. At home, though, I admit to having a couple of piles and a single file on my hard drive for all my writing stuff. I'm wrapping up the publication of my first novel, working on the sequel. I belong to one critique group and run another, so there's always stuff waiting for critique! :-) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081822273632746477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-50372974542393663892013-07-03T00:39:07.775-04:002013-07-03T00:39:07.775-04:00Let's see, as I type this, I have on my desk: ...Let's see, as I type this, I have on my desk: my (paper) calendar, a can of seltzer water, a pen, a book on Catholicism, and a telltale wrapper from the Snickers bar I inhaled a moment ago, all fit around the computer monitor and mouse. I make it work despite the organized chaos. As long as it makes sense to me and everything I "need" is within my grasp, it works for me. :-D <br /><br />Whatever works, right? Be well, my friend!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-70210890861049407392013-07-02T06:43:04.432-04:002013-07-02T06:43:04.432-04:00Hi Marja -

This is exactly how I operated--organized chaos. Every now and then I get disgusted and tidy up, but when I'm rushed, it gets discombobulated again. I think you and I and tons of others have proven that we can get projects done without the magazine-perfect desks you mentioned. Have you ever seen a photo of Einstein's desk? My. Oh.

Beyond that, I have no trouble laying my hands on what I need.
