Good news! I have claimed that plot of space behind the front room and before the dining room, formally known as the computer room until the computer broke down and found itself in the bin, as my writing room. The computer desk is now my writing desk and because I broke the £200 chair Mum was given an office from her friend at work for free.
I laid claim to the room yesterday which Mum accepted which sigh but while she was out I moved several writing books from my bedroom to the glass cabernet at the end of the desk. She complained at first that she didnt want clutter in her way but I stood my ground and my Gran supported me. The room is now mine to do as I please.
Ive spent most of the day there writing and planning. The only issue I have is that there is no way between the front room or the dinning room so that means the TV might distract me but unlike school I can use my Ipod and tune out. I can't really complain. :-)

I too have my computer in the main living area. I feel I'm in the naughty corner most of the time but it's okay.
I'm lucky in that I have no distractions in the way of kids, dogs and an obliging Hubby who keeps me supplied with food and drink when required.
Whatever works is the best solution :)
My desk is in the living room. I have hopes for some time in the summer to get all the furniture outside and then move everything around so I can get a quieter corner...
My writing space is on the mezzanine right under the roof in the one bedroom in this house, accessed by a husband-made staircase. It's my space; I do occasionally hang washing up here, but otherwise it's just for me. If we ever rent this one out, I'll have to make sure I get priority in making another space next door. Who needs a kitchen, anyway?
I used to - my desk was in there!!!!
The problem I have is that I have two distinct things I do in my office, one is the painting and the other is the writing, need a bigger office!!!
