Here is where the books happen. The bridge of ASN Mark E. Cooper... so okay, I couldnt think up a good name. Dont kill me! The black couch is where my arse should be right now, while I use that old fashioned Psion 5mx you can see there next to the more modern tablets. I use the Psion to write first drafts and should be doing the last couple of chapters for Chosen, but Im writing this instead. Dont hurt me! The tablets (Nexus 7 = awesome, iPad = meh) are there because Im totally addicted to the net and Im always looking something up on Google. Need to know what a carbon nanotube is? Google! Need to know how to spell Deuterium? Google it! Haha... I use the old net deprived LCD handheld for first drafts before yanking out its flash drive and plugging it into the main comp attached to the treadmill. See it there in the other pic? The LCD on the wall is actually a really good TV, old but excellent for text and gaming too. I used to play a LOT of MMOs, but that was before my writing became full time and the bills became more important than raiding. Hard to imagine for you ex-guildies out there I know. I import the raw text from the Psions flash drive into MS Word on that comp. Its a water-cooled Alienware computer from my gaming days. It can do pretty much anything. Word processing is a joke for that monster--this is the Sebastian of computers in my house. The only thing it doesnt do is get lippy like the real Sebastian does with Gina in Merkiaari Wars 4 (Operation Breakout). I bet it could though, if I ever find an AI emulator or something I might find out! So I edit it the raw text in Word, and finally its imported into Scrivener where it joins all the other chapters awaiting beta readers and formatting into print and ebooks etc. So where am I in these pics? Why am I not posing for professional looking hard at work type marketing pics that you see authors use on the net? Well, Im on the treadmill at the moment writing this, but you wouldnt see me on that couch anyway. Im behind the smart phone taking the pictures. I live alone, so its just me, myself, and I creating the books for you and the tax man! Got to keep the politicians in work spending our taxes on new legislation that we dont need eh? Mark
