If you are looking for a fairly cheap writing desk, fortunately there are quite a few options available to you, although this can be more difficult if you are looking for one that is not a standard size. Other options, if you cannot find what you are looking for, is to make one yourself which is not really that difficult.
Perhaps the first place you may want to look is on Craigslist or on another local bulletin board. Frequently people advertise their old, no longer needed furniture on these type of lists and they are usually fairly cheap too. Alternatively, you can actually advertise yourself on these lists, stating specifically what you are looking for by giving the exact dimensions you need. It is fairly common for others to read such advertisements and realize they have something that would suit, whereas they may not necessarily go to all the trouble of advertising it themselves.

Another great place to look is at Overstock. They have a lot of decent furniture again at very good prices. The downside is that you may have to assemble the desk yourself, however these desks will come with fairly detailed instructions on how to put the desk together and they will also include all the parts needed to do so, though you will need to provide your own tools.
Goodwill, Salvation Army and other such places also often carry pieces of furniture. If they do not have it in their shop, you could always let them know what you are searching for. That way, if it comes in they will be able to contact you and let you know. The same holds true for second hand furniture shops, as they often get a fairly good turnover in secondhand furniture and are usually willing to keep your contact details on hand in case something suitable comes in.
If you want to make your own, without necessarily going to all the trouble of building one up from scratch, another idea is to visit your local Home Depot and check out their counter section. You could simply buy two smaller sized counters and a piece of counter-top. Set the counter beside each other, with a small space in between where you legs can go, and place the counter-top on top of the counters. In most cases you do not even need to actually fix the counter top to the cabinets as it is usually heavy enough to sit firmly on top without moving. Another alternative, along similar lines, is to use two appropriate height file cabinets and lay a counter top over those. That way you will also have additional drawer space, which is always useful.
