"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
(Virginia Woolf)

A small peak at my little space here in Oxford - it doesn't quite have the cherry-colored antique furniture or floral printed wallpaper that I have always envisioned a proper flat in Oxford to have, but with a bit of sprucing up - fresh flowers from the covered market, getting rid of the horrid green duvet, a bowl of fruit, stacks of books, art postcards and old maps tacked to the wall - I have become quite satisfied with it.

And Woolf is right, I think. After living in hostels and in shared rooms for quite a few weeks, I have come to realize that there is indeed something about a peaceful and quiet space that fosters the creative instincts.
