I bet you
probably wouldnt believe it, but I am a fly, and I live on the ceiling
of Karen Hesses writing room. I spend my days wandering on the brightly
sponge painted yellow
ceiling and watch Karen as she creates her wonderful work of books. It’s
quite a fun place to be. Let me tell you about it.
Karens
writing room is a comfortable place to be. She makes the room match her
personality. The walls are a bright yellow,
as bright as the fiery hot sun. She has her favorite paintings by her favorite
artists surrounding her walls. The tile is black
and white checkered,
with a glossy shine to them. But off in the back left corner of the room,
she has a little area where she relaxes and watches t.v. She has a two
seat couch that is maroon.
Sitting in front of the couch is a 17 inch t.v. That part of the room is
carpeted light blue,
like the color of the sky on a clear day. In each corner of the room and
next to her desk, she has a plant. She has a bureau with all her drafts
to most of her stories. It’s filled with notes and drafts and books and
articles from the newspaper and magazines. On the top of the bureau, are
pictures of Karens family and friends. Since most of Karens books are written
about different news stories she reads about or hears about, her light
brown wooden desk has articles from just about
every type of surce scattered all over it. Off to the left hand corner
of her desk is a small lamp. Her latest notes and drafts are in a pile
right in the middle of her desk. The only window in the room is placed
in front of her desk, where she dreams off into a whole other world, also
giving her new ideas for books.
