Eliana, I feel completely agree. My desk is a complete mess and I agree that it is very distracting. When I try to do work I always end up finding something on my desk to do instead. Additionally, you mentioned how your dad said it's like someone's desk who is on hoarders; I get a similar reaction from my parents. I have so much stuff every where and little time to devote to cleaning it up. School and life is too distracting to really clean. I feel that I am partially to lazy to clean it but also I find many things more important. So for people like us that have unclean desks and don't mind, I don't think it's much of an issue.
My second comment was on Toby's blog. She talked about how she saw writing and how it is difficult to write on demand, for a grade with her view of writing as a personal thing.

Toby, I feel that this same thing happens to me. When I am not writing, I will think of great ideas and then when I sit down to begin they all seem to disappear. I will have a topic picked out but it would be hard to find where to begin or even what to discuss. You mention that you "let a story that's been eating away at me spill out." I usually do the same thing. When I think of something I can start typing for hours as long as no one breaks my train of thought. Its always been difficult for me to just think of something on a broad topic instantly. Also, I agree that it would be hard to write a story on something with out experiencing it but i believe it can be done, it just won't be as good as some one that had experienced it. Lastly, I find writing not only as something personal but as a way to voice my ideas. I feel I think more clearly as I write. it helps me formulate and organize my ideas
