Hey everybody. First off, we’ve got new photos on the blog. People had wanted to see what my office looks like, well, this is it. For everyone who wanted it to be a dungeon, or a dance club theme, sorry. I’ve found over the years that I work better surrounded by certain colors, and that if I have much of anything in the room that is too interesting, I tend to get distracted. So, other than research books, I try to keep the clutter to a minimum. Sticky notes do not count as clutter.
I think when we do the new offices, a project that is about two years away, maybe sooner, though frankly just the wee bit of construction we’ve done has taken so much more time and effort than it was supposed to, that it’s become discouraging. Anyway, when my new office gets done, whenever that will be, it will be blue, and green. I first discovered that green worked as well as blue when my first husband used to take me to a store in California that specialized in telescopes. You know the good kind that actually work for amateur astronomy. The store was painted an odd shade of pale green, like a minty color. Terrible color, I thought, but every time I walked into that place, I sat in a corner and wrote copious notes. It just flat did it for my imagination. Pale blue, and pale green, are the two surrounding colors that help me get ideas, and keep it moving. Most people seem to want me to surround myself with red, black, and chrome, but none of that is actually very restful.
I debated about letting anyone see my office. First, it’s my space. Second, I knew that a certain amount of my fan base is going to be grumpy about it. Because it won’t fit what they think my office should look like. But for those of you who are more interested in what it really looks like, than what you think it looks like, here it is.
