Creative spaces
Joyce Fetteroll
I thought this was cool. Especially cool for readers of science
fiction and fantasy. It shows the work spaces of several renowned
fantasy and scifi writers. Some people are neat. Some are crammed into
tight cluttered spaces. Some write in Barcaloungers. (That would be
instant sleep for me!) Some write fantasy on high tech computers. Some
with pen by candle light. (Though maybe Joe Haldeman was just goofing!)
But there's just so many different ways that work for people to be
creative. There's no right way to explore interests. :-)

Not about creative spaces, but about creative projects -
About a year ago I took my daughters, then ages 11 and 13 to hear David
Macauley speak at a local art museum about how he creates his books. He was
really interesting and wonderful. He spent a lot of time talking about how
his drawings or book ideas sometimes don't work out, so he sets them aside
and starts something new.
He said he often doesn't finish books - he loses interest or realizes it
won't work or can't figure out a problem. Sometimes they'll sit around for
years, then he'll go back and work on them again or take an idea out of them
and start a new book. Made a big impression on my oldest daughter, who has
*numerous* unfinished projects that she dips back into. That's how the
professionals work <g>.
Everyone in our family has writing and other projects, some of which date
back years, and our space is kind of mismatched and pack-ratty and full of
weird (and interesting!) things, but it works for us. I'm looking forward to
showing them this link!
Best wishes, Cara
