I’m still waiting for my certificate to show up. If you pick up my book, My Fair Godmother, you might surmise that I don’t know how to spell the uncool way either.) If you look closely on Janni’s wall you’ll see she has a certificate that proclaims she is a “Real Writer”. ( Bones of Faerie–which I always end up spelling wrong because I can never remember the cool way to spell Faerie. I have several like this at my house.Īnd here’s another one of my author friends, Janni Simner. Here is Sydney Salter Husseman.( My Big Nose And Other Natural Disasters) You can tell she’s a writer because her bookcase is big enough that it would kill someone if it toppled over. Bonus points to anyone who can recognize what sort of computer he’s working on. This is Chris Crowe ( Mississippi Trial, 1955) proving that he is Super Dad. I’m sure he writes down all of his award winning ideas on napkins and then sends them to his editor. Since I write teen romances perhaps I should put up a picture of Robert Pattinson or something.Ĭhris Gall ( Dinotrux) claims that this is where he writes. (Okay, there wasn’t a contest, but there should have been.) I love the fact that he has the galaxy nearby for inspiration. Except for then I’d have to find a place for the 300 pictures of my kids that cover the walls of my house. I love the fact that she has cover art from her books framed. This is the lovely Lisa McMann, author of Wake. (Just kidding, Tim!) His wall is the coolest!

It would help out when dealing with editors. Personally, I think all authors should be issued swords. Although you can’t see it very well, he is holding a sword. Here is James Owen’s ( Here, There Be Dragons) workspace. Love the wooden floor! A lot of my house is done in tile that we picked because it matched the color of dirt. This is Aprilynne Pike’s ( Wings) workspace–she is absent too, probably out on tour with James having mocktails with JK Rowling or something. What do you suppose he keeps in that backpack and why does he only have half a lamp? He isn’t around because he is obviously out on tour, rubbing shoulders with celebrities. Next we have James Dashner’s ( The Maze Runner–which everybody loves and which I still do not have an ARC of–not that I’m hinting or anything) work space. Although here you can see she is clearly trying to print block letters using her baby’s footprints. When people ask her how she manages to write with children, she says she doesn’t–children are too unwieldy. Shannon Hale ( Princess Academy) employs the same technique. As you can see, I frequently work with children draped around my neck. Not to be outdone, I decided I should do a blog about where children’s book authors write. Not long ago I saw a blog that featured where fantasy writers write.
