Where I Write




INTERIOR - The Line Shack
Kevin's pint-size writing studio.

 

I just got back some photos (yes, I still use developed 35mm film; are you surprised?) that I took of my pint-size writing nook for those interested in seeing it.


 


This was an old shed in my backyard where I had stored my lawn mower, tools, and who knows what else. I needed a place to work away from the house, a place I could go to bright and early in the morning, before the rest of the house woke up, and pound some keys. 
 
 
 
 
I  insulated the hollow walls, put up some drywall, installed some old cedar fencing boards (from Craigslist) on each side to give it a cabin feel, and I also added the small window because I've always wanted a desk near a window. Did it all by hand.
 
 
 
 
I even ran electricity to it so I could plug in my record player and add a space heater during the winter months. One side is where I can write and look at the window at my garden, and when I turn my chair around, I can reach my records or books; it's a very tight space but works for me. I found it hard to take good pictures of a such a small space. I think I will name the space after my first produced play: The Line Shack.
