Writing spaces
There have been times in my life where I have fantasized about having a certain car. Fortunately, that often involved reasonably-priced cars. For example, for a while I really was in love with the Mazda3. So much, that I indulged myself and bought one (and I LOVED it).
At the moment, the material possession I will admit a longing for is a writing shed. If you hadn't guessed, that is a shed where you go write stuff. Part of this is coming from my current predicament where I am finishing a book and find myself itinerant rather than rooted, as I seek out quiet, calm spaces.
And, yeah, a writing shed is a thing. Here, for example, is George Bernard Shaw's:
And here is Virginia Woolf's (which I love):
What would your shed be like?

My shed would have lots of windows and a metal roof and be on the fringe of a beautiful garden. The exterior of the shed would be surrounded by hydrangeas and peonies. A little larger than Virginia Wolf's shed, but not so different.
I am with IP Law Guy … a tasteful, clapboard, multi-use writing/ice-fishing Leinie lodge with a hole in the floor (think of the year round possibilities), a beer cooler, and a satellite dish for the NHL Network … would be ideal.

I often fantasize about a "writing shed" on the top floor of the Alico building, and my hours would be 8-5 M-F, and my job would be to just read, think, and write about stuff.
Farmer, except for the Alico Building part, I'm hoping to get a sabbatical that is exactly like that.
I would not care one bit what my shed looked like as long as it was somewhere on the Hudson River Valley, one train ride away from New York City.
