Writing involves more than writing. The writing life involves a lot of reading and observing. Most of my writing is done at my desk, and I occasionally get to spend a few happy hours writing outside in Yellowstone. These are a few of the go-to items I use for writing–at home and in the field.
- The Pentel RSVP Ballpoint Fineline is my long-time favorite pen. In purple. Always.
- A small sturdy notebook. I don’t know where I got the one pictured above. This one will be its replacement. It comes in 3 x 5 and 5.5 x 8.5. (Plus 8 x 10, if you’re looking for something larger.
- Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Anne Lamott is my current craft read. I’m a re-reader, and I learn from this little book–every time I go back to it.
- I discovered the Crazy Creek chair at a Yellowstone Forever nature writing workshop more than a decade ago. It’s the perfect perch for taking the workspace into the field. This is the model I have. This one is similar and this one is bigger and sturdier.
Let me ask you this: Do you write? Would you like to?
