I was so excited to see this because last week's post on my newsletter, The Tea was about my writing space (https://malabartearoom.substack.com/p/desk-tour). I wasn't sure anyone would be interested in it, but I love seeing where other creatives work, and thought maybe other people do too. I loved reading this post.
I have rearranged the furniture in the room my wife and I call my study eight or 10 times in the past two years. I tell myself I need the place where I sit and write to “feel comfortable.” This is an enigmatic and moving target.
For a couple years, it meant sitting in a wingback chair with a fountain pen, a B5 notebook, and a lap desk. Currently, I alternate between a yellow legal pad and my laptop at an Ethan Allen desk that my mom used for most of her life.
I like to hear the enigmatic and moving target is not just a me thing, and you’re dispelling my notion that if I had a office things would be different! I do love the idea of a family desk though…
I also alternate between couch, bed, chair and desk but I bought one of those clacky typewriter keyboards that I LOVE using at my desk to incentivize me to sit there more.

My best writing gets done in spite of all this. A lot of times it’s the notes app on my phone, wherever I happen to be at the time.
