OPTIONAL IWSG Day Question: What are five objects we'd find in your writing space?
The awesome co-hosts today are December 5 posting of the IWSG are J.H. Moncrieff, Tonja Drecker, Patsy Collins, and Chrys Fey!
The five essentials you'd find in my writing space besides a laptop, of course, are the following:
1. Punching bag (when I was querying) Rejection isn't easy.
2. My favorite middle-grade murder mystery books for inspiring...well-formed plots, of course, silly.
3. A fort made out of my TBR list. Makes a good hiding place when you're trying to write and the kids keep asking about dinner. Sheesh.
4. Cat one trying to type.
5. Cat two trying to snuggle.The distractions are real, folks.
Bonus item: My contract with my agent to remind me that I met my NUMBER ONE GOAL this year!! WOOHOO!!!
Okay, so I don't really have a punching bag or plans for murder (or do I?) lying around my work space. And my virtual TBR list (I mostly order e-books) dwindles everyday. I just finished James Ponti's excellent MG mystery series, FRAMED!, VANISHED!, TRAPPED! I'm also finishing Sheila Turnage's MG mystery series, Three Times Lucky, Ghosts of Tupelo Landing, and I'm half way through The Odds of Getting Even. Boy, can Turnage write suspense and humor! My hero.
People in the hallway outside my library door at school must think I'm crazy or plotting murder mysteries. Actually, I'm reading and giggling. Boy, do I read fast! I've tackled countless books since August. I've also written fifty plus pages of my WIP for the month of November. Not as much as I hoped. But I'm planning to write more this month.
If you witness murder plots, criminal profiling books, and plans for the perfect crime, you've entered my work space.
Hope you are enjoying this crazy busy month. Happy writing and Merry Christmas!
