I started using a typewriter for my first drafts so that I can avoid the internet. The coffee (or tea) is also what I deem essential! Just the smell of a fresh roasted brew can give me super powers!

Thanks for the welcome, Colleen. I’m thrilled to be here. 🙂

I’m lucky to have my own office, and I’m surrounded by inspirational notes, beautiful stones, and glitter pens. If I could only find a way to stop our cat from rearranging everything (or tossing things off the desk, onto my rescue pup).

I miss the snow in December and January. After that, not so much :).

Thanks, Mindy! Yes, I updated my writing corner a few years ago and it made a huge difference. Nice to see you here at WHW. Welcome! :O)

Thanks so much for all the great advice, Colleen.

I love all the tips to make a writing area as inviting as possible. And you’re so right about writing groups. I can’t imagine being a writer without having one or more supportive critique groups. Those deadlines always propel me forward.

It’s true, Becca, and seems there are new ones every day. Right now I’m blaming the daily snowfall we’re getting as I’m having to shovel too much! (ha)

Thanks, Angela! But you’re already getting a ton done–you must be good at killing distractions!
