That’s what my writing space looks like now that I’ve finally gotten it into the shape I want. There’s the toy car, left over from a Happy Meal, with Lois Lane at the wheel, the Go 4 It license plate pin I found among the possessions of a dead woman whose sons told me to take what I wanted, the neon sculpture of an abstract highway that overhangs the printer.br /br /My floatie pen collection shares space with a green glass filled with gel pens and a hard card book called “The Writer’s Block” given to me by my Pops.

    I just came over from the Cherry forum. What a pretty space! Good luck w. Nano. As they say, you can’t edit a blank page. If it’s working for you, go with it. I’m heading back for round two today myself.BR/JulieB
