  Writing table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A writing table is usually a desk with a series of drawers directly under the surface of the table, to contain writing implements.
The writing table is often called a "Bureau plat" when it is done in a French style such as Louis XVI, Art Nouveau, etc. When a writing table is supported by two legs instead of four, it is usually called a Trestle desk.
In this case they are often called Bureau a gradin instead of writing table, unless they have a more specific form, such as that of a Carlton house desk.

 Authors on the Web - Stephen King's On Writing
When Stephen King's book, On Writing, came out in October 2000, it was the talk of the publishing and the reading world.
AOTW: One of the many nuggets of advice contained in On Writing is to do a first draft, put the bad boy in a drawer for six weeks, and then take it out and read it again.
King notes, however, that this method, while it works for him is not universal; some authors write and revise a page until it is right, then proceed to the next page, and so on.
