I'm more intrigued at this point about what you're WIFE's profession is that has you relocating all over these little towns in Iowa! I prefer writing with a window, but then maybe that's why I don't get as much done as I could. Thanks for sharing.
I did talk about this in previous posts, but my wife has worked in local governments for most of her career. She began working for solid waste agencies in Clinton County and the solid waste department in our hometown of Muscatine, running both departments. After a short time as a consultant, she finally got an opportunity to be a city manager in Chariton, Iowa, which prompted our move out there. After five years she was hired to be city manager in Fort Madison and we’ve been out here for nearly a year. She definitely makes more money than I ever have and I’m absolutely proud of everything she’s done.
Thank you! I'm new here. I truly appreciate our public employees. They take such abuse and do such wonderful work. Please send along my appreciation. Nice to see another fellow Iowan on Substack too.
If you check out some of my recommends, you’ll find a few of them there too. Do a search for Iowa Writers Collaborative and you’ll find some good ones there.
My writing space is filled with books, a leather loveseat and ottoman, a fireplace, a kitchen and peninsula where I can eat or sit and have coffee, my dog (Joey), and my pigeon, Noble who flies around from the top of the kitchen cabinets to the fireplace to the top of an loft. Noble also bee-bops around on the floor with Joey. Joey and Noble are good friends.

Very cool; I always love to hear about other people’s setups.
