Battling the Undertones

There’s some leeriness going on. Some precognition b.s. spoiling a perfectly good Monday morning.

Normally, I would just pop my meds and wait for the mellow to hit, but since it’s not my brain stinking up the joint with doomsday-ness I’m at a bit of a loss.

No, I can’t even blame the four-legged, furry muse for this one. She’s tucked and stuffed and snoring at my side. No ill inklings coming from that quarter.

So, where, oh where are the fateful undertones coming from?

Um, well, that would be my printer.

See, my printer is neglected. Terribly. I’m literally going to have to Swiffer it off before I turn it on. So, I suppose, a little nerves at the prospect of printing out the entire first draft of a honking-huge novel is reasonable, but…

I could really use some team spirit from the office supplies, ok?

Yes, yes, I know that paper jams and ink shortages are on the horizon, but there is no need for apocalyptic thoughts.

Really.

I promise on those four horsemen coming over the hill.

Great. Now, I’ve caught the leeries.

Run.

Save yourselves.

Until tomorrow…

Birthing a Study

This Memorial Day Weekend, my muse and I are trading out our office for a study.

*patiently waits a beat as heads are scratched, brows are furrowed and eyes are rolled*

Yes, there is a difference.

No, it’s not just a Chloe-thing.

An office, in my mind, is for working. A study is for reading.

Admittedly, when one is a writer, reading and working are often the same things. However the settings are as different as desert and forest, moon and sun, cheeky and grim.

While an office often grates with math, deadlines and cold expectations, a study must hum with comfort, coziness, and timeless security. (Ok, this last might be a Chloe-thing. Feel free to ignore.)

So, today, my beautiful glass desk will be placed under my window where utility and beauty will mix quite nicely.

And, tomorrow, a stunning deep red chair-and-a-half with matching ottoman will be delivered and take up center stage in my loft… and a study will be born!

I am unreasonably excited about this.

*grins like a loon*

Until tomorrow…
