Carole, you’re right. If your income depends on it, you’ll make a space for your work, whether it’s called a blogorium or a garden shed.

Hexxenn – I have a simple philosophy: If you’re writing online for profit, and not raking in $1000′s every month, and you’re not doing it to be a pro, then why the heck are you wasting everyone else’s bandwidth? For that matter, why waste your own?

Anybody who is serious about writing (blog, book, whatever) understands the need for a quiet space of one’s own to dissociate from a world which would have us conform to the idea that the more distractions we have, the better off we are.

Writing is a gift, deserving a pretty box of it’s own.

I can just Jump up and down on the Bed, saving the cost of both the Blogorium and trampoline…

Sure, Hexxen, I’ll go with “hokey”. My blogorium is a very hokey place, so is the inhabitant.

PMSL!

Hexxenn – I think you’ll find John’s using the long lost art of ‘humor’ here.

No offense, but there are office ladies who do a lot more work than your average blogger, “pro” or not.

The idea of setting a whole room apart for the specific use of blogging seems like major overkill. Sure, novelists and the like sometimes do it, but I’d say 95% of bloggers don’t need the kind of enviroment a published author does.

Unless you’re a pro blogger raking in thousands of dollars a month from your blog(s), a “blogorium” is an extremely hokey idea.

I flex my eyes every few minutes to keep them in shape :)
Seriously though, I like the idea of a “Blogorium”. Peace and quiet is always appreciated when one is trying to write. Great article John.
