<\/a>We begin with Carol Marks<\/a>, a writer and blogger from Huntsville, Ala. With two teenagers and a husband who loves to cook, Carol found that her dining room was full of distractions and thus not a good place to work on blog posts or the novel she\u2019s trying to complete. So she placed a desk in a corner of her bedroom and began to create the writing nook she needed.<\/p>\n Carol Marks tells us about her writing space:<\/p>\n It\u2019s not a huge writing nook, but it is cozy. I love my little writing space.

I put on the Frank Sinatra station I created on Pandora Radio and begin.<\/i><\/p>\n I probably only stay back there for an hour.

The chair that I have back there is not that comfortable to sit in but it is a reminder to get to work and get the job done quickly.<\/i><\/p>\n Carol Marks blogs at CarolAnnMarks.com<\/a>.
