Writerly Gadgets, Gizmos and Must-Haves

August 29, 2013 | , ,

Thought I’d share some of the writerly gadgets, gizmos and must haves. In no particular order…

The rolling cart I use for school visits and presentations. I have lots of props and this lets me move them around so much easier than hauling heavy bags on both shoulders..

This is a two for one. I absolutely could not function without my Macbook Pro. It travels with me all over the house and everywhere else I write. (With three boys that could be just about anywhere.) I also love the decals I found on Etsy to personalize the back of the screen. (I sometimes joke that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.) LOL! The tree and leaves sit underneath a clear Invisishield skin and I still can believe I installed myself. *fist pump*

Of course if you love your laptop as much as I do, you want the perfect bag to tote it around it. This Osprey is the best laptop bag I’ve ever had. LOVE it!

My whiteboard calendar is a must. I only use it for my writing related stuff, but that’s okay, the family calendar is in the kitchen. (I actually have two so I can see the upcoming month also.)

My writing magazines inspire me daily and I learn sooooooo much from reading them. It’s like an at-home, mini-conference in my kitchen.

And of course the SCBWI!!! It could be the Bulletin, a Shop Talk meeting, writer friends online or a conference. It doesn’t matter–it’s all good.

Okay–time to share your writerly gadgets, gizmos and must-haves.

    I got inspired to share one of my favorite writer gadgets on my blog this summer too. It’s a lap desk my granddad made. I’ve used it for writing every book. Posts like this are so useful. Glad to see your gadgets. Keep Writing!

    I do, but didn’t want to be obnoxious about posting my link on your blog! But since you asked, here it is…

    I can’t live without this thing.

    Take Care. Love the look of your blog!

    Honestly? Spiral notebooks are my friends. Not for the actual writing–I’m strictly a laptop gal for that–but for writing myself notes about my admittedly complicated plots.
