"Much of what she liked to do was putter around in her cluttered room, she loved being surrounded by all her stuff, which was piled on her floor, dressers, desk, and closet in little neat mounds." It seems that you've been at my apartament :D
I adore this story and love it even more when I realize that there is still lovely, little Tyme inside of me. Thank you for reminding me this.
I used to think better when my projects were in piles. However, I married a neat freak and we both had to compromise a little bit. He is more relaxed and doesn't get upset if I forget to put the lid on the peanut butter jar properly or I forget to shut the doors in our house. And I am neater, everything has its place but I still clutter a lot when I create. I keep my creative messes in one spot now. Elisabeth will get my help when it comes to organizing her room but still having a comfy clutter around her study table. I think the clutter bug is genetic lolol @izida!
