storytelling

It was Lee who started this crazy show-me-yours thing by posting photos, of his workspace and asking the rest of us writers who blog to do the same.

His inspiration is this book of photos by Jill Krementz, about the writing spaces of really famous authors. I own this book too, and it is rather hypnotic.

Bbelow are two shots of my study. If you really want the gory details you can click for the full sized versions. What you can't see in either shot is the wall full of drawings, diagrams, notes for Queen of Swords, or the QS stack of books.

Now, please remember that I'm just finishing a 200,000 word book. If I weren't so busy... the study would look just as bad. The plain truth is, I really desperately need a secretary to keep me organized. Because my mind won't work that way.

So late at night when my brain is fried from writing and I can't sleep, I have been putting books into the Bookpedia database (which lives on my computer) and also exporting them as I go to my LibraryThing library. (And there's a profile, too.)

I'm maybe half way done putting in books. A ton of history and reference still to be added, a lot of children's books, a few bushels of novels, more fiber art, and all of the mathematician's books. Also, one not so great thing: LT doesn't allow you to chose among editions, which I find quite disconcerting. But it's new, and the developer is working like mad on various features.

But LibraryThing is serious fun. Okay, serious geekish fun. Check out the Zeitgeist page and the tags, but only if you're prepared to spend some time.
