 Deborah
Raney
I was privileged to be a stay-at-home mom to our four children, and we lived in a rented duplex for twenty years. My first novel was written at our kitchen table, the second in our tiny “master” bedroom, and almost a dozen others in various corners of the living room. But two years ago, with three of our kids through college, we bought our first home, and I am delighted to finally have my very own writing studio.
I never minded having my desk in the hub of the house, and in fact, I once vowed that even if we lived in a mansion, I'd never move my little makeshift office out of our living room. Good thing it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, because I love my sunny, colorful, quiet room and the painted farmhouse table desk that I never have to clean off before I can serve supper.
There’s a cozy overstuffed chair in the corner for naps—er, I mean brainstorming sessions, and a great reference bookcase my dad built for me. I often take my laptop outside on the porch or deck, for some sunshine and a different point of view.
