When I was a kid, I thought authors wrote their books in secluded mountain cabins or in musty rooms at the top of locked towers. Now that I’m an author myself, I’m both disappointed and, okay, a little relieved, to find that I don’t have to write my books within the creepy settings of a would-be horror movie.
Instead, I create my office all over, depending on what needs to get done at the moment.
On a day when the weather’s good and I’m feeling productive, but don’t want to be cooped up, I’ll take a five minute walk down to the lakeside park in our neighborhood and set up camp at a picnic table.
Other times, I have to multitask, which means watching our baby and trying to sneak in some words when she’s not looking.
Then, there are the times when I’m up against a deadline and it’s time to get serious. When that happens, I’m on lockdown. I’ll even work in the wee hours of the morning.
When I’m on deadline, I also tend to be most productive while working at a desk with no distractions. Because lately my life has been deadline-city, I’ve recently been working on turning my office into somewhere I actually want to be. Here’s my office before:
And here’s its current state:
Huge improvement already! I often grab books from the shelf for inspiration as I work. At the moment, I have two research books on my desk that I’ve checked out from the library. And now I enjoy settling into my office with a mug of hot water to tackle my daily word count—usually about 1,000 words—before emailing my critique partner, Charlotte, with the progress I made for the day.
Hello, @chandlerbakerbooks here! And I’m so excited that the very first installment in my High School Horror series is out this month, beginning with Teen Frankenstein. While waiting to introduce readers to the entire cast of Hollow Pines High, I realize that I’m filled to the brim with first-day-of-school jitters and figure that, this being my first series and all, I’m kind of the new kid. So, allow me to introduce myself by sharing 5 things you might not know about me:
