At my desk in my office
A number of years ago I moved to a new house and got a new office. One of its attractions is that it has a huge closet for storing my many boxes with the research material for my books. In many ways I have found my perfect work space--it is no longer in the center of the house, it is light and airy with a view of the garden, it has room for desks, filing cabinets and bookshelves, and it has plenty of space for the proliferating equipment of the modern home office. My desk and office are where I conduct the business of writing. Yet, when I am in the midst of a writing project, my favorite place to work is still at the dining room table. Not only does the table have a comfortable familiarity, but it takes me away from the distractions of my office and gives me the space I need to write.
