A while back, I blogged about getting your idea. So now that you've got the idea, the next step is to daydream some more. Love it. I mean, what profession tells you to stare off into space and let your mind wander? Seriously.
Next is shopping!
Here's my writer's shopping list:
1. Very cool journal- big enough to jot all my notes and ideas into for this book. I like to splurge on this one. For my current WIP, I'm using a journal I bought at the gift shop of a French castle. It's got this cool medieval hard cover. Very inspirational.
2. Big piece of butcher paper- I get this from school
3. Colored sticky notes- blue, pink, yellow and purple (you can choose any ones you like)
4. Pens and pencils- they must be the fun kind. I got a heart and a star one.
5. Music- I go to I-tunes. Since my current WIP is set in Asia, I bought a bunch of Asian tunes for my i-pod.
6. Treats- dark chocolate (of course!) and coffee (must be caffeinated for me!)
7. Magazines- I get the old ones from the library that they are giving away
Next time, I'll go into detail on what I do with all this stuff.
So, how about you? What's on your writer's shopping list?

Can't go wrong with chocolate - not ever. :)
Whoa, you have some serious cool stuff on your list!
I'm mostly a computer gal, but I do love fun little things to inspire me, like a brand of beer or a picture reminding me of a scene from a book of mine.
Chocolate is always on my shopping list...no matter what type of shopping list I'm making...grin...
Sounds like you have all the tools needed...Hugs...
PJ- Speaking of computer stuff, I also forgot to mention that if you don't have a wireless mouse, get one. I can't go back now that I have it. Spoiled!
Lilfix and Kim- chocolate buddies!
Great list! I really just work in spiral notebooks. Plus gotta get stamps and big envelopes. Other than trips to the library, that's about it!
Who doesn't love chocolate! Fun post. Thanks for your support at Verla Kay

I'm so curious about the butcher paper! Since I compose on the computer I don't need paper or pencils. And I don't listen to music when I write. I guess all I need is some peace and quiet!
journal - definitely i have a running list of blog topics
