To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the inner music the words make. -Truman Capote
I hope that your weekend was quite lovely. My was lovely and restful.
This weekend, I finished reading a book called the Wednesday Sisters.
It was a lovely book about a group of women coming to voice through writing.
It is set against the backdrop of social change.
After reading the book, I decided to create a little writing bag to grab and take with outside or to my kitchen table(whichever). I have been wanting to write more and this novel planted a little fire in my belly. The truth is there little excuse not to be scribbling a little each day. It makes me feel good, it's a good use of the mind and I have a ton of empty notebooks begging to be used. So, I decided to gather my supplies and dedicate a bag to the venture. My writing bag is simple. It includes:
*A notebook
*Some inspiring pictures
* Chap stick
* Note cards
*Little box for pencils, pens, note-cards,etc.
*Something to drink
Do you have a writing bag or ritual?

ReplyDeleteA fabulous idea! I've not been keeping up with my letter writing lately so I think I'll put together a letter writing bag with stamps, postcards, stationery and pens and addresses. It will be perfect to take outdoors or from room to room.
ReplyDeleteI love to have a candle burning when I write, particularly something beautiful with intention from zenamoon.com.
