The story so far: I'm a writer based in Canterbury, UK. My first novel, a technothriller called Déjà Vu, was published to critical acclaim in 2005. This blog shoots the writerly breeze on upcoming projects, marketing, and anything else writing-related that springs to mind.

In an exciting twist, my previous post has generated controversy. Yes, I do indeed stand up at the computer. Here's another pic to prove this craziness. In case you didn't know already, you are looking at a Jerker.

can't believe you work standing up!
i barely use my desk, most times, i'll be in bed or on the couch.
i'm just not good at being vertical i guess.
Ah, sorry. Didn't see this post before my last comment.
Oh, yeah, it's great. Occasionally, I do some lunges, star jumps, etc...
To all the shocked people:
nurses, policemen, waiters, bar-tenders, traffic wardens, on-site labourers etc etc all stand up all day at work.
Bit too manual, eh? Surgeons stand up all day while performing ten-hour highly complicated operations.
I rather like the sound of an elbow-height desk myself.
Disraeli stood up to write as well. And he had a cool little beardlet.
This is true, Spinsterella. With the added advantage that you don't get a stiff neck from craning at the computer.
Disreali? Wasn't he the villain in Mrs Brown?
