We are kindred spirits! And I lo...I love it, Robin! We are kindred spirits! And I love the idea of having a place to hold all those bits and pieces of ideas and scraps of paper. I would literally need something with pockets or zip lock bags of for all of my musings! I always intend to transfer them into a "safe place" but it never happens! Can't wait to read "The Withered Garden."

ALL of these apply to me, so must be a writer.

My favourite, #4. <br /><br />In one of the classes I attended at Write to Publish Writers Conference (WTP), they strongly encouraged us to keep a note/writing pad by your bed, on the kitchen table, in the den, etc, so you have something to write when the ideas come. You MAY search frantically for pen/paper but chances are, by the time you find them, you've forgotten your brilliant idea(s). <br /><br />I bought 5 small WTP notebooks and put one in every corner on the house (and even brought one to work) to make sure I always had one on hand. And yes I do the other points as well. So I guess I AM a writer!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! Blessings! Renee-Ann <><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
