Gee, Nance, your desk looks a lot neater than mine (of course, I share mine with Hubby)! Had to laugh when I recognized not only Minas Tirith but a certain poseable (and, if I'm not terribly mistaken, talking) Gondorian hunk. Ah geekdom, the ties that bind!

Ocassionally I will take my laptop out for coffee somewhere they have (free) wireless internet, but mostly I write on the pixie box at my desk at home when my daughter's at school. Here's a picture:

I also keep notebooks strategically placed about the house to catch the lightning thought, and I just bought those crayons that can write on the shower wall. OK - they're mostly for my daughter but I have used them for story ideas. |
Wow, your desk is much neater than is mine. I have CD strewn about from working on my music notation, and papers from our business and the kids stuff. Then there's the cat. She thinks it's her desk.
I do all my fanfic writing on the laptop. I find that my pen cannot keep up with my head. Most of my poetry and smaller ramblings may start out on paper. I do it at work when I am not busy, as long as my manager does not catch me. (But, since I refuse to work with him, there is little danger of that happening!)
I do not exactly hide my writing, but I refuse to do it when the Dude is home. He disagrees with it so vehemently, its just not worth the row it causes. I refuse to read anything to him anymore. My son Michael is my real sounding board. Even my daughters are not interested. I am alone. And, it's not much fun, sometimes. You who have someone to share this with have no idea how lucky you are. I especailly admire those few couples who both write. What a wonderful way to share!
