Writer’s Caves

I love these pictures of some well known science fiction writer’s “offices” where they get their work done.  Overall, the level of clutter is stupendous. I couldn’t imagine getting anything done in some of these rooms, except maybe having an anxiety attack, let alone write a book.  It makes me wonder how someone could focus on any one task in that kind of space.

I love the unabashed crapulence of it all.  Clearly some of these writers love their space.  These are “man caves” of the highest order (the ladies seem to have a much higher level of aesthetics and organization overall).  Wilson, you clearly need to start adopting some habits from these crazy old hermits to become a successful writer.  Also, sweatpants and a huge beard help with the mystique quite a bit:

Saw it on Boing Boing this morning.  Great stuff.

Makes me wonder why I don’t have a man cave.  Although I don’t really have anything to put in it, nor any time to be there.  Hm, that’s probably why I don’t have one.

  1. Are you sure that isn’t just Santa sitting with all his letters on his desk, with his particular favourites bound on the shelves from decades gone by???? Just asking….
