10 Items That I Am Thankful For as a Writer

I hope that everyone has a happy Thanksgiving filled with family and friends eating all the insanely-delicious food. In my personal blog, “What I’m Thankful for 2009,”I wrote about all the wonderful people who I am thankful for.

Now, I want to write about all the wonderful things that I’m thankful for that help me with my writing:

1. Stationery and Pens – I am obsessed with stationery and pens. Whenever I head to a store where I can get some, I don’t think twice. I get it. I have a diary I write in every day, and I use colored pens to do it. To-do lists, writing book, sketchbook. You name it, I have it.

2. My Laptop– I can’t imagine life without my laptop. I write, write, and write away in it. I’m thankful that I have one.

3. My Music – Whenever I write, I have you to help me get the thoughts out in my head. Thanks for always being there with me through all the times in my life.

4. WordPress – You have given me total control over my blogs, and I love you for that. I love the flexibility you give me, and I don’t know how I could ever use another blog platform after finding you.

5. Windows Live Writer – You are my favorite Windows product, and I wish that you were available on Mac. I have written great blog posts due to you. Thank you for that.

6. NeoOffice – You are my favorite word processing software ever.

7. Scrivener – For writing stories, you are awesome! Even though I don’t think I am going to be a NaNoWriMo winner, you definitely kept my writing organized and in one place.

8. Social Networking Sites – You might sometimes distract me, but you have also given me inspiration and ideas. The people are mainly what I am talking about. You all rock!

9. Coffee – Whenever I am too tired to write, you keep me going. You are the accessory every Writer should have.

10. Technology – You have given me software, hardware, a way to find interesting people, and information for me to use in my writing. You make the world go round.

Hope this list made you laugh and agree on some of the items. Happy Thanksgiving!
