The Writer’s Desk – 3
This may be just because I already honked my desk up, so why not add another odd thing?
For my other job (not writing) I am required to use a pen pad system so that I can handwrite on the computer or make pictionary-like drawings.
My company shipped the Bamboo Pen system to me, and I was then given time to practice with it. The Bamboo itself is amazing, responding to subtle time and pressure changes made by the writer. The interface we use is not so slick. So the first time I presented to my bosses, I was prepared to Wow them. Instead, I wrote like a mentally-challenged second-grader.
Though apparently everyone does that, and they were not concerned, I was mortified. In an effort to get better, I threw out my old mouse and just used the Bamboo Pen.
Here’s the Bamboo Pen . . .
And one of my drawings made with it (A drawing of Sin’s special weapon holding pants from Vengeance, that I made for the artist who does the cover art)
