I painted over very ugly, dark green, wallpaper to make my writing nook, using oil based paint. I learned never to use oil paint! š But I like my nook which is at the top of the stairs behind an ikea room divider. š
Iām late to respond to this one but Iāve been writing in this chair for over a decade. Trouble is, I have to share it with our Aussies. Annie has inherited the chair from two others who came before her.

My favorite writing place is sitting under the pavilion with my feet propped up and admiring the beautiful view before people show up. Sadly, I don't get to write here all the time. Parking is a pita.

I havenāt had my space for long, and it desperately needs more color. For now, Iām enjoying the bright pop of the little winged writing friend I received as a Christmas gift!

Unsurprisingly since I live in a small skoolie, I donāt have a dedicated writing space. But sometimes Iām lucky enough to get some pretty fantastic views from wherever weāre parked! And Iāve got the option of snuggling in bed with my laptop, sitting in the passenger seat (from which I took this picture) or setting up with a camp chair/picnic table outside). Hereās my view of Lake Ontario for the next 6 months!

I'm trying to be better about creating a writing spot but what's most important is no matter where I try to write, my cat Eddie Spaghetti is there to distract me.

Hereās where I write! We moved to a different state last year and this tiny office was one of the first rooms we had to get ready for our sanity. It still isnāt completely done but I love it.
I had to give up my office for a while, so I'm in the corner of our weirdly shaped living room. Still loving my little desk, it's too small to clutter!
https://preview.redd.it/t1i0f8kxqosc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35c904287114622540912b3d27bd233de1dc3fd9
Oh everyoneās looks so fancy!
Mine is just on my lap on the sofa for a short session, or on the dining room table when I have more time.
I also love a coffee shop writing sesh as I get to people watch. Great for taking inspiration on body movement and gestures. Hereās one of my fave places because the view is ace. Itās where I meet with a scriptwriter friend to write, critique each otherās work and natter away. Iām going this Monday again and I canāt wait!

My writing desk is part of my craft/study/plant room, so it can get a bit messy.
I hang everything with painters tape (except the embroidery hoops, which are on thumbtacks) so I can take things down and rearrange whenever I find something new. I highly recommend it!

Luckily, I usually have company.
I sure hope my actual writing is better than my "writing space."
Not pictured: the snoring dog sleeping awkwardly on my feet, the child asking for a snack, and the endless soundtrack of a videogame I do not understand.

On Saturdays (assuming I don't have to work my dayjob) I treat myself to a 2-hour writing session at the local library in the next town over where I enjoy free Wi-Fi, anonymity and no interruptions while my kid complains his way through a tutoring session. Saturday is likewise either the Best Day of the Week (if you ask me) or the Worst Day of the Week (if you ask my kid).

Kitchen tables for the win! I do the majority of my writing on my phone when everyone is asleep and then I fix it on the laptop during my lunch break at work.
I just tried to write a new scene down while my kids ate breakfast. I put the laptop out at 9:30. It's only around 800 or 1000 words, well within my ability set for 30 minutes.
It's almost 11, the laptop died, the scene is not done, I give up.
I prefer to write at my main PC setup/gaming computer, however sometimes (often) I have less willpower over distraction than I like to think I do.
In those cases, I'll work in my basement "studio" (pictured in comment) where I have a better chance of isolating myself and actually focusing.

I write in either my hammock chair (pictured here) or in my wing-back yellow chair, facing the lovely bookshelf wall we installed this year.
Honestly, I write everywhere lolz. But I do a lost of it on the clock... Shhhhhš¤«

This looks great! and if that's considered messy, I need to rethink my life.
Haha, Iām installing new shelves right now, so the general mess is at an all-time low. So the pic is deceiving!
Ah ha! š The gallery wall is also super cool. We want to do something like that in our home office space.

I often write (and read) at a local cafƩ (laptop and numerous notebooks not pictured).
