One of the key components of my writing space is music. I have a fondness for old stereo equipment and vinyl, and I also enjoy several of the local FM stations. So, my room also houses my record collection and several amplifiers, turntables and tuners. I also will distract myself from writing by trying to master the odd classical piece on guitar, so there are several instruments in the room, too. As a result, the space seems, especially to Patricia, a bit cluttered, but I’m okay with clutter when it all serves a purpose.
