What's On My Desk

The wonderful Cole posted this great post about her desk and tagged me to do the same. How can I resist? I adore seeing other writers' desks and so I leapt at the chance to do this myself. It just so happens that I recently sorted my desk, so it appears a little more organised than the usual chaos! At least it means that hopefully you'll be able to see things.

Like Cole, I don't really have all the post it notes everywhere like planners do, but if I'm just beginning something or editing something, then there are usually pieces of paper and stray post its everywhere with notes that I have made! 

I made an attempt to create an annotated picture, which you can see below.



But, here are some un-annotated ones.

Here you can see the stack of notebooks (mainly used, although there are a couple of unused ones lurking in there), the star chart, inspired by Victoria Schwab, Laura, Cole, Emma, and anyone else who uses this system. It's working so well so far, I love it! 



You can see more of my inspiration board in that picture too - including many Daphne du Maurier pictures and Harry Potter/Hufflepuff things! Plus, the wonderful notebooks that Laura has made for me.

Here's the annotated one, un-annotated, plus another angle of my desk. I'm lucky to have a pretty big desk, but still at the same time, I want it to be at least double the size!




The main people reading this will already have been tagged, so I challenge anyone else reading to do this! And make sure to link me to the posts, I can't wait to see what all your desks look like!

And for inspiration, have a look at a wonderful picture of Daphne du Maurier at her writing desk here.

    1. Thanks! It is quite a stack... I just don't have anywhere else to put them - one of these days it will fall down! I'm glad you like it - it's just full of stuff I love, as well as tickets/mementos from stuff. Aw that's kind!

      No problem - I enjoyed doing it!

  3. Wow, that pile of notebooks is huuuuuuge! I'm so intimidated by your and Cole's awesome desks, my looks so unloved compared to yours! I really need to use it more. Loving the inspiration board, it's actually inspiring me to make my own! So glad the sticker system is working for you as well :)

    1. Haha, it is a little bit out of control.... Aw I'm sure it's not! Anyway, if you write elsewhere that makes sense - I'm at my desk a lot, haha! Thanks very much! It is - I love the sticker system!
