It’s hard to believe how much I had shoehorned into my attic studio. It’s the space where I’d spent so much personal time writing and revising over the past 21 years, but looking at it when it’s stripped down to this is really difficult.Ditto when I think how much we had in the other half of the attic, a combination of guest room and crafts-projects storage once it stopped being a bedroom for one or the other of our daughters.
