The doorway is an open arch, so I don't think we could even find a ready-made door to fit it. I've halfway considered getting a hat like Jo March in Little Women, or some signal that "I'm deep into it, please don't disturb unless it's an emergency!"<br /><br />"This cap was a beacon to the inquiring eyes of her family, who during these periods kept their distance, merely popping in their heads semi-occasionally to ask, with interest, Does genius burn, Jo? They did not always venture even to ask this question, but took an observation of the cap, and judged accordingly."<br /><br />Or maybe a sign that says "Genius burns" would do the trick.

I dream of a real writer's office with both a view and a door as part of the package. A closet would be an added bonus. While I'm at it, I might as well imagine a lovely corner fireplace and a series of bookshelves laden with inspiration. My family would never see me again! :)Tammy Kenningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300487210783108005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-87017564808988661382019-10-28T08:53:22.111-04:002019-10-28T08:53:22.111-04:00My current writing room looks very similar to the ...My current writing room looks very similar to the first photo in your post. My desk is tucked (crammed) into a corner of a tiny room that doubles as a storage “closet”. However, I do have the much coveted door... and for this precious commodity, I wouldn’t trade the world.

I guess they don't understand how hard it can be to get back into the story world once pulled out. Sigh. But what can you do? We love them.

I can have the door on, headset on (listening to what I just wrote being spoke back to me, as I can't listen and write either). It doesn't stop folks from walking through the door with their request. It doesn't help that I networked the printer. Maybe I should move it to another room? :-) God's blessings ma'am; and praying your hand feels better from the "Stage Construction Accident of 2019."J.D.
