I often get inspired to blog about something, but then I sit here at the keyboard and I go blank. I figured it was writers block. I don't think that is what it is at all. Before we moved the computer to this spot I didn't have a problem with writing because the computer was in our living room. Our living room has cathedral ceilings and windows. It is open.
Now the computer is the dining room, in a corner. No windows to provide good lighting. I face a wall and not a window. There is nothing around me to inspire me or to get my creativity going. It is dull here, it is dark, closed in and boring.
I remember listening to some sort of news program a while back and they talked about different jobs. Creative people that were in jobs that demanded their creativity are able to concentrate better in open spaces, whereas people that have detail oriented jobs need smaller spaces to keep their focus. Interesting huh? It really does make sense.
I love places or rooms with high ceilings, and with a lot of large windows. The best place is outdoors of course. I feel closed in and sometimes freak out when I'm in tight places, no windows, short ceilings and dark.
Now I just need to figure out how I can get the computer back upstairs... hmmmmm. Guess I should go think up there about it. =)

Hmmm... Your space sounds a lot like mine!!! I do have a window, but the view is terrible and the sun glares in onto my screen, so I usually keep it closed. Other wise, I'm shoved in the corner of what use to be out dining room and the room is really unattractive!!!

I am so sorry that you no longer have a room with a view. Maybe it will cheer you up to know I type in a dingy, cluttered basement.
I never thought how a change in scenery might affect my creativity, excellent thought.
In my craft room there is a window that faces south and I loved letting the light shine bright through. Then in the summer my husband put in a window air conditioner and I haven't successfully crafted since. HHMMMM

It is nice to know that I'm not alone in this! I think we should all go out and pick or buy some lovely flowers to brighten up our corners!
