Although the gift on my wishlist is for my kids to NOT start fighting or demanding my attention the second my brain gets in writing mode and the words start flowing. That would be the best present ever.Chris vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02920938015472296076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-36757830387242979972012-11-15T14:46:10.105-07:002012-11-15T14:46:10.105-07:00Of course there are beverages on the list.

Just inherited two tall bookshelves from my parents' place and so for the moment (a month? two?) I actually have a few unoccupied nooks and crannies. What a wonderful use of imagination! What goodies shall I place there?<br /><br />Or was this a trick? Maybe I was supposed to be using my imagination to write...Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-72115542291765237122012-11-14T10:01:06.110-07:002012-11-14T10:01:06.110-07:00Linda; I agree!

I've tried to convince my cats they need to do that, but they'd rather just knock things off my desk and walk across my keyboard. They don't even write anything that is any good, either.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-62700256989777538452012-11-14T06:47:46.342-07:002012-11-14T06:47:46.342-07:00The best gift my kids ever gave me was a case of r...The best gift my kids ever gave me was a case of recycled paper when I got serious about writing.

A writer can use any or all of these wonderful presents any time of day, month, or year. Love this one, Elspeth. The only addition I might make to the list is "time." Somewhat related to the clock, its absence is the robber of all things creative and the frustrator of the best-laid plans to get that story brewing in the mind translated to the hard drive (or that paper that came as a welcome gift).Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686488133905538811noreply@blogger.com
