Rewriting is the Real Work of Writing I get letters almost daily from people who want to write a novel. Most of them have started one, and some are close to the end of their book. But once the writing starts, the fears come quickly. We know what we want to say. We know what… [Continue Reading]

Ways I Fuel My Creativity
Ways I Fuel My Creativity I’m an author of a lot of books and a lot of blogs— 40+ and 3,000+ respectfully! I write a lot. I plot a lot, but one of my biggest weaknesses is in taking time to consider how to fuel my soul. There’s a lot outbound and if I’m not careful I… [Continue Reading]

I Write How I Cook: Little of This, Little of That
I wanted to make a chicken pot pie. I’d googled a recipe the other day while I was writing my shopping list—making sure I had all the ingredients—but for the life of me I couldn’t find that recipe today. So instead I looked at three other recipes and then decided to do my own thing…. [Continue Reading]
My Writing Desk | Lynn Austin
On the desk around my monitor I keep reminders of all the urgent things I need to get done. There’s my calendar and the weekly list I make of top priorities for that week. There is also the chapter-by-chapter outline of the book in progress so I can see where I’m going and where I’ve… [Continue Reading]
Instead of Looking for the Right Publisher, Focus on Becoming the Right Writer
The Wrong Focus I started writing in 1994 when I was pregnant with my third baby. I was 22 years old with some college under my belt. I’d been a Christian less than five years, and I’d read only one book about writing before I prepared my proposal for submission to a publisher via a… [Continue Reading]
My Writing Desk | Stephanie Reed
Thanks so much for allowing me to share my space with you. Although I now do most of my writing on a laptop, a view of it and my toes would be pretty dull. My desk has more character. We bought this computer desk and chair at an Amish furniture shop. The keyboard is on… [Continue Reading]
My Writing Desk | Nancy Moser

My Writing Desk | Carolyne Aarsen
Here’s the writing space. Unedited. As it is right now. Some explanation is in order. The pink chair is left over from the grandchildren who were just up for a visit and love to check out my office. The white box on one corner of the desk is my latest gadget waiting to be… [Continue Reading]
My Writing Desk | Shelley Shepard Gray
I’m sure I have one of the messiest desks, ever. Years ago I taught myself to only write here; I rarely sit at this desk unless I’m working. I put up the W-R-I-T-E letters above my desk to remind myself to do just that. 🙂 Consequently, I don’t do much else in my office besides… [Continue Reading]
My Writing Desk | Camy Tang
Here’s my writing nook! The chair is an ergonomic one I desperately need because of an old work-related injury from when I was a biologist researcher. Hubby bought a lovely footstool to prop up my feet and on top of that is a pink fuzzy blanket I made for myself out of my leftover yarn… [Continue Reading]
