My Writing Room – Julia Williams

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.

Julia's Writing Space

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…

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
