I notice Murrin's actual work spaces aren't dusty, and THAT is an improvement on some of us!
Sarge, I think I would feel claustrophobic, or at least... feel stressed every time I looked around me in that room.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"
Yep, 6 equal compartments and one long shelf along the top. Built by hubby. Been up years now.
The handy little gadget to the left of the computer is the best thing I ever bought. Very cheap, and it holds whatever I'm typing, clip at the top to keep it up, and magnetic rulers as well if I need them. The slope is adjustable too.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!
"I must state plainly, Linden, that you have become wondrous in my sight."
Which is to say I love your organization and bookshelves, Vader!

If I didn't force myself to be organized I'd instantly drown in a pool of chaos. Having a wife that keeps kicking my lower backside when I don't keep my desk tidy also helps ...
