My Writing Must-Haves
What’s on your writing must-have list? Here’s mine:
- My laptop. Can’t get very far without it. Because I don’t really take it anywhere aside from the spare bedroom, I have a device that lifts the screen up to eye level when it’s on a table, but that also renders the keyboard difficult to use, so I have an external keyboard and wireless mouse as well.
- My planner book. This tells me what I’m working on, and I use it to track what I’ve finished.
- Post-it notes. These are for the things I’m working on, because putting them on post-it notes instead of writing plans in my planner book allows me to rearrange the schedule as needed.
- Pens. For writing the completed tasks on the actual paper of my planner book.
- Stickers. Also go into the planner book to indicate that I’ve gotten things done. I’m very motivated by seeing a list of what I’ve done, but also stickers are still a great motivator for me, many years out of school.
I’ve also got lots of other things that I like to have around, like my plethora of card-based story, character, and world generators. But they’re only essential for certain stages of the writing process. The rest of these things are constant companions if I plan to get writing done!
What sort of must-haves do you need? Tell me about it in the comments!
