Pictures of My Office





January 17, 2008

I've often looked at photos of writer's offices with a weird kind of fascination.

We haven't quite joined the digital age when it comes to photography, but we do have a digital video camera that allows us to take still photographs. I needed my wife to shoot some pics of me with a coat and tie on for a gig I've got as an editorial advisor, so while I had the camera all juiced up and ready to go, I shot some pics of my office.

I don't know what happened to one of the photographs, of my bookshelves, but the top is of my workstation. It's the first desk I had, the oak one, then a computer desk I inherited from my father, and a folding table that I keep supplies and materials on. The monitor on the folding table is awaiting a computer to go with it. When I bought the iMac, it came with a 24-inch monitor (actually, it's an all-in-one design) and I haven't quite figured out what to do with the second monitor yet.

The second photo is of my office manager's home-away-from-home, in other words, a futon that he sleeps on when he decides he needs to keep an eye on me. Hence, the blanket that's all over the place. Please note the white board.

Cheers,
Mark Terry

Love this! I am the same way. I adore when writers share their lair. I like seeing where they create.

I dream of my garret. Right now its where ever I can park my laptop. It must be great to have a place for your work to call you're own.
I dream on....

Wow! Time to update the office. Get some much nicer furniture and a better ergonomic setup! Besides, it's a good way to lower your taxes as it's an office expense. Do yourself a favor!
