This week’s topic was chosen by S. C. Mitchell – Describe your perfect writing retreat.
If you came from the amazing Sarah Hegger’s site, welcome!
Today is the release day for my romantic thriller “Untrue Colors.” The hideaway in my house is where I wrote most of “Untrue Colors.”
In a nutshell, I took over the sunroom in our house, and I refuse to give it back. Large windows on three sides provide perfect views of huge trees, squirrels, deer, and a few neighbors.
I started writing with a snack table and a large leather chair. It worked for a while. McDreamy, my husband, however changed everything by buying a small desk on wheels. I could keep a printed manuscript, a laptop, and a cup of coffee on it.
There was only one drawback to my setting, poor posture. Agonizing.
The solution? A lime green ball chair. I can sit on that for hours and not feel the muscle strain in my back I did when in the way too soft leather chair.
Sometimes, I head to the kitchen and stand at the island to finish some tasks. I’m also closer to the coffee. I love the retreat. I’ve trained myself over the years to focus on work in the office, soI tend to be more productive here than anywhere else. My slice of Heaven on Earth.
Betty Bolte is the next stop on this trip around the web. If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll catch sight of one of her many pets. Dogs, cats, horses.
Congratulations on your new release Veronica. Love the green ball chair.
Ball chair! Even with the unintended pun, that’s a great idea. Happy Release Day, V.
Nice! Your room is a very writerly place 🙂
Snap! We found out little slice of heaven at home. I need that chair though
Oooo… I’m loving that lime green ball chair. What a great idea. Your writing retreat is perfect!
I have a stability ball similar to yours. Unfortunately, I never use it. I don’t try to keep aware of my posture, though. So nice of McDreamy to help you out that way. Congrats on the new release.
Gorgeous view and a cozy office! And, wow to the ball chair. Now that’s something I should look into for my own bad back and aching legs. Thanks for sharing!
Untrue Colors looks amazing, Veronica. Best of luck with the release.
I know that space, and you’re right! It’s perfect. I’m thinking I might try my stability ball as a chair, combine creativity with exercise. It might even happen…!
