Stackable Ideas

Today some friends came over for the first time ever and they were shocked at how unorganized my room appeared. The comment has been sitting at the back of my head all evening and I think my room appears unorganized because I need a studio: too much is happening in the bedroom! (never thought I would say that...) I am in the middle of writing a play, poetry collection, comedy routine, autobiographical story and many other things. All of these projects have notes, papers, and ideas associated with them that I like to keep out (read: I need to keep out). Since my bedroom only has about 2 square feet of available countertop space (and a narrow band 2.5’x10’ for walking), the projects just pile on top of each other. Maybe I need to build upwards like the city I just visited.

Weren't you just telling me about a large, foam Empire State Building? Perhaps that could somehow be used to house all of your projects.

Be grateful you have but 2ft sq of working space. In my universe, clutter seems to grow in direct proportion to the available space. If you had a 15 x 15 office, a miniscus of "notes" might be creeping up the walls and the furniture.

I say, if you're comfortable and work well in there, that's all that matters. We all build different kinds of nests.

your friends would have vulgar comments about my room...
