My Writing Room – Julia Williams

Published January 7, 2014 | By Laura

I work in a small office next to my bedroom. When we moved into our house seventeen years ago it was billed as another bedroom, but was a bit impractical as you had to walk into our bedroom to get into it. So we decided to turn it into a bathroom and dressing room. Then I decided to go freelance and started writing, so we thought, how much space do we really need for clothes? and turned it into a study instead. My husband is very handy round the house, so he built the desk and shelves himself, and a lovely decorator pal of ours painted it for us.

Author, Julia Williams

Julia’s Writing Space

I love it because I look out onto the garden, and allotments beyond, so I have a great view if I’m bored. I also have pictures of the children, and things they made for me when they were small on the shelves which always make me smile. And a lovely photo of my dad laughing. Sadly he died before I had children, so he never knew I became a writer. He was an English teacher, so I like to think he would have been pleased!

I do love working here, as it’s a cosy space and I literally have to crawl out of bed to go to work. Though the downside is the temptation to crawl back in can be immense…

Julia has always written stories. She started out in publishing before writing novels. Her books include The Summer Season, A Merry Little Christmas and Midsummer Magic.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
