I have pondered investing in a “real” desk instead of the lap desk I currently use.
But why should it matter where I sit to write, doodle, sort through photographs, etc. Will the desk help inspire me? Flashes of inspiration come to me from books, photos , my cherished travels and these days my kitchen experiments.
Today, I am asking you dear reader to contribute to my inspiration. What should be my next subject?
I have never sat down and put some thought into why I write.
Until recently I was writing mostly for work. Communications, training materials, memos, etc. Now I write as a tool to express feelings and share images that have marked me in some way. Call it a creative outlet to bring some pleasure and push away the daily grind.
When I first moved to Canada from Greece (before the internet and email), I used to write long letters to childhood friends. Letters filled with the trials and tribulations of my teen years and the adjustment to a new country, language and culture.
Back then, I wrote to relieve my stress and anxiety. Now, I write to bring inspiration and creativity back into my world.
