Writers can be finicky about the writing process. I know one author who can only work in a small, cluttered room with no windows. Another writer requires peanut butter cookies and diet soda to notch up her creativity.
When I write, I need lots of natural light, room to pace and no distractions. You won’t find me hunched over my laptop in a coffee shop or blaring lyrics to happy music, although, low-volume Spanish guitar does seem to fire up the noggin.
Most of all, I need a great desk.
Furniture maker Matthew Holdren used barge board harvested after Hurricane Katrina to build my writing desk. The wood was once part of barges that moved along the Mississippi River to transport goods. Eventually, local residents broke up the barges and used the wood to build shotgun houses and cottages.
My desk has a story, and that makes it a great place to write one.
