I also recently did a bit of reshuffling in my studio to create a dedicated space to display and store my current and upcoming releases under my own imprint of Fourteen Press. I'm incredibly proud of the three indie books I've created so far (PIECE OF CAKE, SUGARCOATED, and NIGHT LIGHTS) and the indie editions of SMALL SPACES and DEEP WATER that I'm working on right now. They will all have pride of place here where they'll serve as a snapshot of how far I've come, and also as motivation for me to keep going and growing. My aim is to fill each segment with a different self-published book over the next 18 months as I head towards my 50th birthday. I set myself a goal of publishing 10 books by the time I'm 50, so I will definitely be busy!
A couple of people on Instagram and Facebook pointed out that this is a great way to have my goals very visible every time I walk into my studio, and I totally agree! I originally arranged these shelf units purely for storage, and it's a happy accident that they happened to have ten segments.
I look forward to sending updated pics each time I publish a new book. :)
