Confession: This is where I do all of my writing and editing
While I do a fair amount of notetaking in notebooks, my Notes app, and on Post-its, once I start writing and editing, I’m 100% at this desk, which used to be my grandfather’s. It was the desk he used while working at Tesoro, an oil company in San Antonio. The company gave it to him when he retired and it was in his study until he passed away when I was in high school. I always admired it and was able to convince my parents to give it to me when I moved to New York City for grad school.
It’s now home to many of my writing essentials, including my personal computer, which shares a 32-inch monitor with my work laptop; notebooks for each of in-progress novels and series; a fresh pack of Post-it notes; and my current reads pile and one of my TBR piles. As you’ve seen in my videos, my bookcase of novel-writing books is behind my chair. Oh, and I have a big fluffy bed tucked under the edge of my desk for Peppa, our pug. (And yes, she derps all the time, even when she’s sleeping.)
On some level, I’m envious of folks who can write on their back porch or in a coffee shop, but I need consistency and quiet. I can’t see that ever changing.
