My writing room has been built.
But it isn’t mine. It’s Synge’s.
I’ve used his writing room. Otherwise known as his chair.
But if I could model my room after his. I would do it.
It has walls. An entry. A place to sit.
And a view.
I could write here. Comfortably. Happily.
Every day.
If it were mine it would be the most exquisite writing room in the world. And I would be very happy indeed.

Daily Prompt wanted to know if : A genie has granted your wish to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?
If they have magical powers to make this happen and this is a contest….please enter me!
Such a divine place. I can only imagine the inspiration that would visit there.
LikeLike
I went there once. And it still inspires. Imagine to live so close you could walk to it daily?

How could you sit there and not be a writer?
LikeLike
Funny, I was thinking how could I sit there and write? It’s too wonderfully distracting!
LikeLike
And when one has to walk away from it, it stirs up so much to write about! 🙂 It is distracting. But I imagine, if it was always ‘there’ for me to easily access, the long walk to get there, the sitting in the small shelter, the peace of no one about, the soothing ocean sounds….it would give me such atmosphere. 🙂

John Synge. Our last trip to Ireland we went to Inishmaan. (I know there are fifty different ways to spell this). We walked from the pier to his house to his “chair”. Worth every second and to do it again would be a blessing! 🙂

Okay, that is the ultimate writing room! Absolutely perfect! Now I’m dying to know if it is in the U.S. or a different country?

It is in Ireland. One of the Aran Islands, Inis Man. It is spelled SO many different ways. If you google Jm Synge and his “writing chair” you will see many many pictures of it.

🙂 I thought so. I would take that walk every day if I could. I might meander a little and go different ways. But I would sit there. And write. Or think about writing. I think you would truly love it.
