...about her desk! Honestly, you must get your minds out of the gutter! LOL
Today I am very pleased to show off author Ginger Simpson's desk! As always click on the photo for a larger version. (Can't beat snooping in widescreen).
My name is Ginger Simpson,
and I’m an author. I’ve always been organized because I can’t stand
looking for something that’s right under my nose. This is my desk, or
should I say, my corner of the world. I have all my print books on the
shelves above me as a reminder of what I’ve accomplished in ten years.
Off to the right, you’ll see two books standing. Those are ones I just
received in the mail to review. As weird as it seems, I do confess that
since I bought a Kindle, I really frown on reading from an actual
book. I guess the smell, feel, etc., isn’t as important to me as it is
to some. Plus, we’re saving trees. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not an
eco-freak…my carbon foot print looks like a Yeti left it, but I do
enjoy the forests and anything we can do to preserve shade is a step in
the right direction…but I digress. If you had asked me months ago how I
felt about ebooks, I would have wrinkled my nose because I detest
sitting at the computer to read. Kindle lets me take books everywhere I
go and I absolutely love it. No, this isn’t an ad for Kindle, but I
guess you could say I’m one satisfied customer.
I
just got that new wireless printer you see. What a deal. Forty-nine
dollars at Walmart and it’s fast and easy to use. It’s almost cheaper
to buy a new printer than it is to buy replacement cartridges. *smile* Of course I have a “pencil/pen” basket and a wire organizer…both a must.
What
you can’t see: my flashlight tucked in the corner, bills in the
drawer, my to-do list, and a basket where I put things to be filed.
When I worked at the University of California years ago, my co-workers
always teased me about not having anything to do because my desk was
always so clean. I just can’t deal with clutter, but there are some who
work better that way, so I’m not ragging on anyone. Oh, yes, the giant
desk calendar is a must. That’s where I note blog appearances…both
mine and other authors. When I’ve posted the info or emailed it to my
hostess, I use a blue marker to highlight the entry. Keeps me on track,
and trust me…at my age you do tend to forget more than you remember.

Thank you so much, for sharing your corner of the world to us all, Ginger :) Great desk!
ReplyDeleteHi GInger! What a wonderfully organised desk (compared to mine LOL) and a lovely chance to see where you live and work. Great collection of books, too! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteHi Clare! I agree, and I absolutely love Ginger's book display. What a great idea. Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so ashamed. No way am I posting a pic of my desk now.
ReplyDeleteBut Viv! We LOVE messy desks too LOL And anyway - as long as you are getting the work out - does it really matter? If I tidy my desk it takes me ages to find anything lol Some participants just cannot work with an empty desk as they feel it equates to an empty mind / blank page ;)
ReplyDeleteWish my workspace looked that good, but alas, I'm one who has to have clutter to feel organized...lol...so on top of my desk, you'll find some dust, bills, unopened mail because I really destest taking time to sort through junk mail, pens, speakers, outgoing mail, hair products, makeup...lol...well u get the pic. I'm always in a hurry, but never go anywhere. Ha! Ginger, please come to my house and organize me and my desk...Hugs...Tabs
ReplyDeleteWow, how neat. I don't have a desk, my lap is my desk, and I'm sure no one wants to see a picture of my lap and tilt back chair. But, it's still my corner of the world for writing with easy access to all necessary equipment beside me.
ReplyDeleteNow I feel like a slob looking at a picture of a place so organized.
I think I'll go pout now. *kidding.*
