Describe your desk
I don't have a proper desk, but I do have a little fabric lap desk that has a pocket for storing papers. Nearly all of my writing is done on my laptop while I'm curled up in my big comfy chair. If I'm not writing on my laptop, then I'm writing pen and paper style to help with the flow of ideas.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a fairly large city with a nature preserve that contains some of the only remaining virgin forest in North America (at least I've been told this). This combination of urban and wild gave me a deep love for both worlds. The city with it's people, noise, and so many lights they turn a moonless night sky street light orange, and the forest with it quiet solitude, soft sounds, and so dark you can see countless stars on a clear moonless night.
I love both worlds, and I hate the idea of having one without the other.
