I mentioned in my previous post that I’ve taken up work in a new office in Johnson City, Texas. Writing about my office spaces is something of a tradition for me, as attested here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here, if not in other places. (I don’t have the car anymore.) So it’s sensible enough that, as I’m settling into the new situation, I ought to give some attention to it.

As might be guessed from the picture, there’s still some filling-in to do. That will come as clients start to do so, and I expect that will start to happen soon. Word will get out that I’m here and that the office is open, and people will start having what they need to have for me to work my work with them. (Of course, local folks who need some writing work done already have that in hand, and I’m here, waiting and ready to help them with it.) But for now, I’ve got a comfortable chair, data access, and space in which to work–almost all inside, and with only a little heavy lifting! It’s a good setup, and one I look forward to having for a good long while.

I’ll note that, yes, the kind of work that I’ll be doing here is not the kind of work I’d imagined myself doing those many years ago when I went off to college or those not-as-many years ago when I went to graduate school. It’s not the kind of work I’d imagined doing when I moved to New York City, or to Stillwater, or back to the Texas Hill Country. It’s not even the kind of work I’d imagined doing when I moved to Johnson City a few years back. But it’s work for which I have trained and in which I am increasingly confident and skilled. It’s work that needs doing for a great many people for reasons I’m not about to get into at the moment. And it’s work that doesn’t have a lot of people willing or able to do it well in the part of the world where I live–yet.

That’s why I’m here, now, doing what I’m doing. And that’s what this new office space is meant to provide.

In addition to the main work at the new office, I’m happy to write the kind of thing you need–and without running afoul of plagiarism claims! If you’re interested, let me know below!
