Well, sort of kind of.
During the week I try and check in with The Writers View, an American Christian writers collective. I like their wealth of experience and range of view points, most of the time, and roll my eyes at some of the suggestions, some of the time.
This mondays question was 'what are your favourite things' and that drew this responce from me which I thought I'd add here, just in case anyone's trying to get a birthday list sorted for me (hint: early December):
My favourite things include (but are not limited to :) )
An Apple Macbook Pro to write on. (It's great but I miss the old 12 inch in a way and definitely miss the matt screen. Everything else about it is lovely. Nice one Apple. Not that I won't buy a tablet when you release one.)
A reporter's notepad to write on (I like the speed you can get between
writing and line breaks). ((All other pads seem too wide....))
Derwent Inktense pencils to write and draw with (beautiful colours that work
well with water brush).
Pages rather than Office. Every time.
Pixelmator over Photoshop.
Expression 3.3 over Illustrator.
The number 34 and 35 busses to sit on and write. They are my working zone:
the movement and bouncing take care of the left hand side of the brain
allowing the right hand side the leeway to play about with words. I often
sit and draw on them too.
Running a youth group. It's a very useful thing to be able to stop thinking
and do something unrelated. Especially if that comes in useful later for
research.
Coffee.
Sushi.
Brushes on the iPod touch. Awesome little art application. Muchos fun and
surprisingly powerful.
The Writers View for the wealth of chattiness :)
Actually there's no present suggestions on there at all. Blast. Oh well. Cartoon socks ftw. They always go down well.
