From my Writing Desk

Every book requires its own process to get to The End. I document my process in a writing diary for almost all my books, hoping to get a routine that I can stick with. It’s getting better.

For Riding the Centaur Lord, I added reading it on my Kindle Paperwhite while listening to it (Edit Out Loud app—I’ve had it for over 5 years now), and then making changes on Vellum. Before I just read it on Vellum. I think this way has helped me catch more annoying details.

Window Writing Desk
Creamy finishes, gentle curves, real drawers (because clutter is real), and light that does most of the decorating for you. This is the kind of desk that doesn’t shout for attention — it just makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. Proof that calm can still be functional. #InteriorDetail
