Your Rating:. I wish I could say that I'm clever and mechanically-minded like Cinder, but no—I can't fix anything. I'm much more like Cress, who makes a brief cameo in Cinder and then takes a more starring role in the third book. I think we'd all like to believe we'd have that same inner strength if we ever needed it. Where do you write? I have a home office that I've decorated with vintage fairy tale treasures that I've collected my favorite is a Cinderella cookie jar from the forties and NaNoWriMo posters, but sometimes writing there starts to feel too much like work.
On those days I'll write in bed or take my laptop out for coffee or lunch.
