Your room and your kitchen sound wonderful and inspiring. I had a bout with vertigo a while back - even when I was lying down; it was awful - but acupuncture fixed it in 45 minutes. I was so grateful. Noria – I’m so glad to see you here. Your room and your kitchen sound wonderful and inspiring.

I suffer from vertigo and sometimes I'm too dizzy to sit upright, so I write lying down, laptop on my stomach, otter-style. The bed: Victorian curlicued cast iron, with lots of feathers. My office is in my kitchen: there are black cats--salt & pepper shakers, creamers & sugar bowls--a dragon-shaped teapot, and a fortune-telling teacup; there are old postcards of fruit in over-saturated colors and a scene of San Francisco's Chinatown at night; there is a picture of a bearded lady fortune teller, sideshow banner fridge magnets, and a poster of Barnum's human oddities.

I can't vouch for Debra. Thanks for posting your photo over at MySpace - I loved seeing that. (Hey, t, any way to make it so folks can post photos in the comments section, or does that open up a can of worms?) Peter - My house is 1930's, too, but I'll bet it translates into something very different in America. Your view and everything about your space sounds so peaceful.

At the moment I work in a smallish room on the third floor of a 1930s apartment block in West London. It overlooks a wonderful square (actually it's more of a triangle) of private gardens. In the spring I love to see the magnolia trees covered in their rich blossoms...it's a little bit of Eden in the metropolis! But soon we'll be moving and so I'll have a new room with a view... Otherwise I need a comfortable chair with a CD player (Keith Jarrett, Brian Eno, something atmospheric...) and a notebook - or sometimes a laptop with Windows Journal which allows you to write directly on the screen. And that's all I need. Oh and a plentiful supply of tea. Well, I am English after all... Peter Hi Susan,
Litpark looks fun!

I just tried posting a picture of my poster-covered wall, but it appears that it might not work on here. The posters are mostly from shows in Cleveland and Fargo, and almost always from a show that I've attended. I've never heard of Debra Lessings, but I'll have to look for that book.
