Book Tour : Elixir Bound by Katie Carroll + Giveaway

Thank you Katie for stopping by Books for Company.

I love these sort of posts and really enjoyed reading it! I am sure my readers will too =)

Thanks so much for having me on Books for Company today! 

There’s just something fun about getting an inside peek at where creative people work, whether that be an artist’s studio, a chef’s kitchen, or a writer’s desk. So today I thought I’d give you all a look at where I’m likely to be found clacking away at my keyboard crafting a masterpiece (or you know, whatever you’d like to call my stories!).

You’re most likely to find me in my home office.

This is my desk…well, technically this is my husband’s desk because my desk is too full of knickknacks, greeting cards, little boxes of stuff, and my jewelry box to actually use as a desk. I like to call this room the library (though nonbookish people may be inclined to call it an office) because we took the door off the closet and squeezed two large bookcases into it. It also serves as a playroom for my 2-year-old son and a temporary storage space because our attic is empty.
Why is our attic empty? Because it’s being renovated into what will be my new writing space.

I’d love to tell you that I’m such a hot-selling author that I’m treating myself to a new office as a reward for all my book sales. Sadly that is not the truth. I work from home full time (work that includes stuff other than writing) and finishing the attic is a way for my family to have enough space to grow. One of the perks of expanding the house upstairs is that we don’t need to use it as a bedroom yet, so I’ve laid claim to it as a writing space, though it will probably be taken over with toys as tends to happen in a house with a toddler.

One morning a week or so, I do try to get out of the house to write. Most often you’ll find me at the local coffee shop in the downtown area.

From my favorite corner of the coffee shop, I can watch the traffic, trains, and people going by. I also get an eclectic mix of music and eavesdrop on any conversation people around me might be having. Great fodder for a writer! And if the weather is just right, I might even get to sit outside in the courtyard to work.

No matter what writing space you catch me in, I almost always have a cup of tea with me. Tea and my laptop are the only necessities for a good writing day for me, but having such great work spaces helps! What’s your ideal work space?
