How I Write
I'm one of those authors who does most of their writing at night. I guess you would say I'm a total night owl. I find that I'm most creative during the night and honestly it's just more peaceful to me. The only time I change that up is during #NaNoWriMo, then I'm writing all day and part of the night.

Clean Desk
For me to actually sit down and write I have to have a clean writing space. My desk is my favorite place to write.
-
Defined Working Times
Like I said above I'm a huge nighttime writer. So I usually write from 8 P.M. till around Midnight or sometimes even later, depending on if the story is still flowing.

Plotting Planner
Like I said in my about me, I'm a huge planner and my plotting notebook/planner is a must for me. It has to be close by while I write. It's chock-full of all my plot/story notes and outlines.
-
Music
Another thing I have to have is music while I write. I have a playlist created for each and every book I write. So while I'm writing that playlist is playing in the background.
My Tools
As far as I'm concered, the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.
