On the big desk

(Page 93-94): Mr. the King writes about the big desk he bought and put in the middle of the room that didn't end up working out for him. [I've always wanted a nice big desk for my "stuff" too]. He bought another one, half the size, and put it in the corner of the office (to make space for the more family-oriented furniture). His advice: "put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around."

I did let my big desk go awhile ago (it was a piece of junk anyway), but I'm not convinced I'm as enlightened as all that. So... anyway. The thought struck a chord with me. So there.
