But if there's some tea, a bar of 92% dark chocolate, a couple of pictures, the songs that I believe others wrote specifically for my characters, and a view, I'm a very happy woman.<br /><br />Messy or no, I'm a little jealous of your space.

I know I'm a tree killer, but I can't help it. I wish I had a laptop, but for now that'll have to wait.

I can write anywhere, as long as I'm sitting in a comfortable chair. I listen to music for inspiration.
