Over the Thanksgiving Week Holiday, I decided to take some extended vacation time to work on my home related projects. It was extremely productive and very theraputic.
One of those many, many projects stacked up on the plate was to dig into my office to sort and reorganize my resource book library...most of which has become a monument to "creative stacking."
To that end, I decided to clear out some space in one area by re-organizing what I had on bookshelves to open space, but more importantly, use the existing space I have more wisely.
My end goal was to refresh my knowledge on the resources I currently own (that may have become lost in the void,) to group like items, and to make my books easier to find by not having so many books stacked in front of each other on the shelf (or even on the top of the bookcase).
It was a win-win-win scenario that I even carried over to my DVD-BR collection (which is another source of inspiration to my creativity flow).
Do you have a writing resource library or source of inspiration that could do with a refresh? If so, the Holidays could be a wonderful time to tackle that task and have a few side benefits as well.
It's a Christmas treat when you find old reference books that proved to be an inspiration when you first started your writing journey "back in the day." See below:
An interesting glimpse of the training of a sci-fi writer. Thanks for letting us look inside, Darren. Perhaps the next step is to organize a sci-fi writers' garage sale!
