The One Time I Tried to Put a Small Writing Table in the Bathroom

I consider myself a field writer. There’s no dedicated wooden oak desk to call my own. The dining room table feels uncomfortable. And any cafe is a violation of my quality writing time. So I have to be adaptable to wherever writing setting I go.

One day I had an idea. My wife and I have this little table. It’s rectangular and the legs are bent and shaped so that it can slip next to a couch or regular chair. And it’s the perfect height when I have to sit on the toilet.

So, I put it in our main bathroom and it looks perfect. I have the privacy to write while doing my business, or pretend I’m doing business. You’d think this is the best idea ever. But my wife put her foot down and said no. The reason was hygiene so that idea is dead.

Hey, if you can get away with it. Get a small table for your bathroom and if it works for your writing, then good. I hope your spouse, roommates, or whoever live with you agree with it. Just make sure you clean it every day or so.
