Describe your desk
Oh man... Messy. I have two monitors and a huge CPU tower sitting on it. Between the keyboard and screen is a landfill of random items: jewelry, things my kids bring me, pens, markers, medicine, salt shaker, broken microusb wire, flash drives, and hair clips and bands. Between the tower and screen is a huge dump pile of opened mail that is now too big... I should go through that. And then the poor tower has a stack of books on top, but not blocking the vent! It's a small little space within my bedroom... but hey! It works!
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
Oh my! It's more like the first novel I ever wrote. I had a composition book assigned to me in fifth grade, and we were asked to write something, anything in it. Well, I figured an on-going story would be the fun route. By the end of the year, I had filled it front to back, all hand written, a story about a girl lost in Africa after her plane crashed. Maybe one of these days I will pull it off my bookshelf and revisit it. Yea, I still have it! It's a totem of inspiration!
