My current writing corner

I'm trying to write at this wee desk, cause if I sit in bed I can get sleepy.

Here's my lovely Scrivener. I like to open pics of the characters (or room etc) on the left hand side, or sometimes my notes; and then my book on the right. And in the "inspector" I keep track of writing times, word count, and character names... the latter because when I get really tired I forget everyone's names.

Since I like to burn a candle when writing I bought this tacky little candle holder at work (the thrift store.) It's perfect except for the baseball. There should be a cat instead. I'm going to have to turn the baseball into a cat. But the books, tea and computer--all good.

Supplies: contigo mug, Reese's cups, gum to clean my teeth after Reese's cups, headphones for music, and hard drive for backing up. (Remember to do backups!)

My new muses (also from my store.) The Boss, and a Maneki-neko.

The Excel word count sheet--click on it to see the projected date when I'll finish. It's December! lol

And finally, last month I found a new symbol for my "Work in Progress" icon in my dock. Writer Snoopy! "It was a dark and stormy night. A shot rang out. A pirate ship loomed on the horizon..."

   

Desk Porn

After reading Jennifer Crusie's post about Susan Elizabeth Phillips' desk, Ms. Brownlow and I were emailing about desks. I was looking for old pics of my desk, when I came across an old post I made of writing corner porn. (They're not even that porny--some of the features are quite doable. Minus the beautiful windows in clearly old houses.)

 

Here are two old pics of my writing corner. The essentials are still the same, but I periodically rearrange things. While a fancy pant cute-a-tude corner is nice to dream about, better a crap desk where you get your writing done, than a beautiful one where you don't.
