My desk is an antique with bookshelves built into the side. I've turned the drawer over to hold a keyboard. We live in a 100-year-old house, and I work in an apartment above the carriage house.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It all depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.
I have three desks. One empty for paperwork, one for the internet and email, and one for the writing computer.
I have two quite large houses, and every cupboard and drawer is stuffed with books.
My house is modern, but I like my writing room to be old fashioned. I write on a little wooden secretary desk.
I work in our living room, a strange room in a strange, topsy-turvy house. I work underneath this enormous bookshelf.
When I was a teacher, teachers would come into my classroom and admire my desk on which lay nothing whatever, whereas theirs were heaped with papers and books.
I work in a room overlooking the river. I try to get to my desk as soon as I've fed my cats and chickens. I use a blue 3B pencil and scribble away for about 20 pages before transferring it to the computer.
I didn't want to spend my life behind a desk.
I'm a total stationery fiend - I have drawers and drawers of lovely printed cards and wrapping paper.
A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.
