Ruskin Bond and his humble set up with an old trunk below the bed and a hanging shelf on the wall. Lovely!!

I couldn't help noticing that none of them was watching KZread. Great video, thanks.

I remember being in the British Library and coming upon Jane Austen’s lap desk and reading how she used it because she could easily hide it away as she felt so self conscious about being a “Lady Writer” when there weren’t really any. Though I didn’t have any particularly strong connection to her writing I burst out in tears at the profound sadness of that, being that she felt she had to hide away what she was doing. I’m also angry that Harvard University owns Emily Dickson’s desk and it doesn’t reside in her home in Amherst. They should do a long term loan and let it be in its original location.

When I was a little girl, I remember the first object I ever truly yearned for, begged my Father and Mother for, and ruminated upon day and night was a white desk with an attached hutch for my myriad books. As long as I was old enough to hold a pen and scribble with it, I have been consumed by an intense and utterly inexplicable need to write ✍ I write every single day of my life. This video was profoundly moving and deeply resonant to my heart and mind. 💌

Thats so sweet :) when i was in 3rd grade I yearned for the school desk next to the book shelf and nearest the window, that way I could have an extra little shelf for my knick knacks, and be able to use the window seal to out my other stuff. I was so excited about that and I finally got it. It was my little cove.

Not always old writers. I always write long hand on a first draft. It's a different experience than typing. Makes me toil less with things that don't matter like font and page lay out. Those things are great for later. You need them. But not on a first draft. Plus, it's far too easy to backspace and say to hell with whole sections on a screen. Once I've committed something to paper with pen, sure I can cross it out or tear the page out, but it's not as easy a decision to make. Keeps me from stalling or worrying about editing when I should just be getting a damn story down. Also... Tyranny of a blank screen is a real thing. A sheet of lifeless paper isn't nearly as intimidating or daunting as that glowing cylopean eye of the monitor staring back at me asking me why I ever thought I could write in the first place; don't I know I have no talent?!?! Lol

You earned yourself a follow. I struggle so much in keeping my own writing desk as organized as much as possible so it’s nice seeing a bunch of authors, that I personally admire, be as messy and chaotic as they want and still being productive, something that I struggle with. It’s eye opening and liberating. Thank you for the video! :)

You should have included people like Homer. Instead of a writing desk, he's just standing beside a campfire, or in front of a crowd of listeners. Spoken word... the original typewriter. I keep imagining the caption: Random Caveman, with just a sketch of a man in animal skins using a piece of stone to carve rudimentary symbols into a large boulder. The original original writing desk 😄

I find myself contemplative upon whether some of those writers did indeed "love mess" or if the messiness was a direct manifestation and representation of the state of their mental health. In some, depression can lead to a loss in the will to be organizational or even clean. I am an inherently orderly person; yet, when my depression intensifies, my spaces become quite cluttered.

Thus is ridiculously quick - it is filmed at ten times the speed it should have been for any sane person to see anything whatsoever or take in the atmosphere... Such a shame. Even a bloody millennial has more attention span than 2 seconds for each photograph shown here, surely?

Kinda sad to see random indian authors that most people wouldn't know of/care about next to some of the greats, kind of takes away from the integrity of the video.
