[Now is the Write Time]
An imposing mistwood writing desk paired with a tall, straight-backed chair is arranged in front of a large window, a rolling cart laid out with a silver tea set parked nearby.

A fluffy white cat peeks out from a white wicker bin filled with discarded stationery.

Folded paper flowers are tacked to the walls amidst an abstract mural of stationery scraps scribbled with handwriting samples. A square, cobalt glass inkpot lies overturned on top of a long oaken table, the spilled ink staining the wood and dribbling on to the polished hardwood floor. A thick-legged oak stool has been claimed by a black cat with a fluffy, white-tipped tail.
