You Can Tell Writers By… Where They Write

You Can Tell Writers By… Where They Write

Several weeks ago, I asked bunch of my writer friends to send me visual representations of their writing lives and got so many interesting responses that I decided to do a series of posts. As you can imagine, a lot of people sent me photos of the places where they write.


I write at several different places. I like to use this desk downstairs in the afternoons, when I do left-brain type of work like writing nonfiction for my clients and revising. There is a computer on this desk, but as you can see, I like paper and pencils (and erasers!). I keep a candle lit on dark rainy days and one of my screenwriting awards in view to remind me that I can indeed write.

My friend, fellow playwright and Sister in Crime Drew Templeton writes here:


desk with mystery and crime books and cat in cubbyhole


Sally Browne says, “Who writes at a desk?


desk completely covered with books and papers


And author James L’Etoile keeps an awfully cute muse under his desk:
