Our trip around the country to visit authors wraps up today!
Let’s pay a visit to C. J. Darlington, author of Bound By Guilt. I just read this book and really enjoyed it. She has a fresh new voice that I think you’ll enjoy.
My writing computer is a laptop so that gives me a lot of flexibility on where I can write. Some days it'll be at the dining room table, other days I'll park in a livingroom chair (if I can finagle it away from my dog!). But my main work area is in the corner of my bedroom. Since space is premium, I have a fold-up laptop table I slide out from beside the dresser whenever I want to sit and write. It's pictured here with my laptop. I also have a fold-up chair. To my right is the stereo with lots of CDs for inspiration. Sometimes I'll plug in headphones and turn up the volume to drown out any distractions. Other days peace and quiet helps me to place myself in a scene I'm working on. I always have a cup of tea at my side too. Decaf at night, when I get most of my writing done. You'll also see just a few of my books surrounding me in the pic too. I have multiple shelves in this room. It's always inspiring to be surrounded by books! Some days my work space is messier than others, and I admit this is on a cleaner day. At other times I'll have stacks of papers, notebooks and yes, more books, at my side.
Denise Hunter, author of Cowboy’s Touch that releases later this month, shares with us where she writes.
Here is my lovely desk complete with ergonomic chair and writerly wall plaque. Nearby photos display some of the people who inspire me. My family, the Thomas Nelson gang, and my writing peeps (authors Diann Hunt, Kristin Billerbeck, and Colleen Coble.)
As nice as this setup is, it isn't where I write--unless I'm running low on battery. Instead, I prefer writing in this cozy spot on my living room sofa with my feet propped up. Always nearby as I work: a water bottle, the phone, notes on my current work-in-progress, and my favorite blankie.
