This is the state of my writing nook right now:
You can see Ralphie, the Labrador, trying to peek his head up over the rubble, in the right hand corner, like hope of life, peeking out of a war scene. I would like to take the time and space to thank the following creatives for making me feel good about my messy mess. First, a quote from the famed author, Anne Lamott:
“I absolutely don’t buy into the current mania for tidiness and decluttering. For a writer, piles of paper and notes are a fertile field.” – Anne Lamott
And a picture taken of the late, great fashion director, Karl Lagerfeld:
Thank you both, for allowing me the state of rationalizing my messiness, for today.
