My sister sent me some pictures of the Belfry back when it was the Belfry, and I wrote a rambling post about it on my writing LJ.

Which now begs the question, dear fellow writers...where do you write? What does your writing nook look like? What necessities do you have in the immediate area? Is it in an odd corner of the house? Post some pix, or barring that, give us a description! :)

Should I stay with the kind-of-too-big swivel chair I've been using for, oh, a couple years now? I think I got it in 2006 or 2007...anyway, though it still holds up okay, it's a bit beaten and the back lining is worn out. The lifty bit (you know what I'm talking about--the bit where you pull a lever and it'll lift or lower the chair) seems to be a bit too sensitive as of late and I find myself sinking sometimes.

My next question is, should I get a smaller version of a swivel chair, or should I do something smaller like one of those director's chair-type things? I'm torn...I like using both kinds when writing.

SWIVEL CHAIR:
PROS--
--moveability. can watch TV, face work PC, etc
--comfort
CONS--
--bulky, takes up room (at least this one does)
--tends to make divots in the floor mat
--my posture is usally really bad on these things
--expensive
--wear out a lot quicker, no real replacement parts

DIRECTOR'S CHAIR:
PROS--
--comfort. I do like how these feel, even when I'm slouching.
--can fold them up if floor space is needed
--MUCH cheaper cost (though they cost more than I expected, but still...)
--cloth seat and back replacements easily available online
CONS--
--cloth seat and back sometimes tend to wear out quickly
--not much moveability


Either way...this one's going to need a replacement soon...

Any suggestions/comments?
