Feng Shui For Writers
Something I found on www.about.com that relates to my previous post. Perhaps one of these might work for you!
Never sit with your back to the door.
If you can’t see what’s going on, you and your work will suffer. Instead, face the door and have a solid wall behind your back so that you feel supported, protected and in a position of power.
The reason my writing takes so long is because I CAN see what’s going on!
Create a clean environment.
A cluttered, messy, or dusty workspace is a distraction from your work. You should always be able to find what you need when you need it.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d think my mother slipped this one in.
Add a small plant, aquarium, or fountain in the southeast corner of your office.
The southeast is the corner of creation and writing. Adding a plant, water fountain or aquarium here will help you grow as a writer by infusing this area with harmonious elements. The southeast is also the wealth sector, and by enhancing this area you might just also earn more from your writing.
Does a coffee pot with plant motives count? It’s still liquid, what!
Use a crystal for concentration.
Place a quartz crystal in the northeast corner of your desk, which is the direction of study and wisdom, to help your concentration and focus.
I have to figure out where to move my twin tower of unread books first.
Boost the south wall of your office for fame and recognition.
If you are trying to catch a publisher’s eye or market your articles/book, place work you’ve sold, prizes or awards you’ve won, diplomas, certificates, or pictures or letters from famous people on the south wall. Be sure to have a light positioned to shine on this wall and the accolades hanging there.
Carson Kressley would pass out from the sheer tackiness.
Keep open space on and around your desk.
Good feng shui is like creativity - it must be flowing. But, creativity and good energy cannot flow if your desktop is overly crowded or you can’t walk around your desk easily. Keep an open space in front of your desk so good energy can accumulate here, and around your work area so that good energy and creativity can flow easily around it.
My writing desk is like Shah Alam during a downpour. Nothing can move anywhere.
If you must stack up your work, stack it up behind you or to your left rather than in front of you on your desk where it will appear as something insurmountable.
L-shaped desks are very inauspicious (they look like a cleaver), so avoid these desk configurations.

Ahhh..now I know why money no come! You'd better come over and help me rearrange my study! Great tips.
What if your back faces the window, not a solid wall there? How to overcome this then Starlight Feng Shui Master?
rafleesia - if i do that, will you share the $$?
anonymous - then the view from your window should be that of a tall building to provide the support of a "mountain".
having preached all that, let it be known that i'm not practicing any of it. perhaps i should...especially the tips that promise better focus. i'm always so easily distracted!
