Home Office Inspiration for Dedicated Writer

This post is all about offering home office inspiration for a dedicated writer.

I decided to write about this because…I have a wonderful announcement.

I am writing a book. It has been formulating in my mind for over a year now, and right before my father passed away I made a mental and financial investment in making my ideas a reality. I am not going to share any details with you right now, but I will share more as the time draws closer to launch my book.

I plan to finish the book at the end of April, and I have had office space on the mind! There are a lot of things that need to be aligned for me to be able to write at an optimum level, including the space.

Here is my formula for inviting inspiration while I write:

My mind needs to be clear and positive. (Meditate and think happy thoughts)
There cannot be a lot of outside distractions like kids, loud music and worries. (Eliminate distractions)
I need to feel inspired by ideas or people that I have connected with recently. (Seek inspiration through reading, listening or interacting with others.)
I have time set aside for the purpose of writing (Plan chunks of time that can be devoted to your writing goal.)
There is someone (husband, accountability partner) or something (money) to report to. (Accountability)
When I have a space that is bright and organized, my mind follows suit. (Prep the environment for focused creativity.) OUR TOPIC FOR TODAY.

Here are some common patterns I see in offices that I love to work in are:

they have lots of natural light from windows
they have a lot of color or are very simple
they have space for books but the desk is left mostly open
they have another place to sit and think

I am in the process right now of figuring how to set up an area of the house completely devoted to my writing. Right now, honestly, I write on sofas, beds and just about anywhere else I can sit comfortably and in silence. Our guest bedroom has been calling my name because it has wonderful natural light in the morning and it isn’t used for anything else. I will start planning and after my mom comes for her visit, I think I will tackle the project of creating an official home office for me (a dedicated writer 😉

So, enjoy these beautiful home office rooms and think about how you can set aside time to write your own history through journal writing, a letter, a poem or your own book.
