OAI Supplies (for fun:)

My writing supplies (part of them...)

I have index cards, markers, pencils and pens, paper clips, folders and books.

Of course, my lovely MacBook Pro.

And books. Did I mention my books?

I've got:
Plot Whisper
Book in a Month
Let's Make A Scene
One Way To Write A Novel
Riveting Your Reader With Deep Point Of View

And so much more...

Did you download the worksheets from Writers Digest?

So gather up your supplies, and lets get ready to write!
What have you got for the workshop? Anything ultra cool?

    Hi Talynn, I've got to catch up on posts! I was out with appointments today. I love school supplies. I'll have to dig through my supply drawer and pick out some pretties. :)

      To me, it's the first inspirational thing I do when writing a new story. Nothing gets me more ready to write than to see a cool notebook or set of awesome index cards. I always think, "Oh this-one-character" would love this notebook:)

    Love your supplies Talynn! I just have my computer and notebooks. Nothing fancy. I downloaded a couple.

      Colored metal. I love them. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and your words of encouragement. I already have people wanting to buy the book! I pray I sign with an agent in Feb, through your workshop.

    I didn't sign up for the workshop, but I found these awesome and tiny little notebooks at B&N to jot down notes. Otherwise, I usually use my laptop.

      I keep paper with me at all times, too. I also use the "notes" on my iPhone:)

    Practically everything I have is digital, be it on my computer or backed up on the external hard drive -and- at least one USB stick. (Yes, I'm paranoid. Your point? ^_^)
    The rest, in my head. I mull and juggle and mutter at myself for weeks until I reach that particular scene. Once written, it starts all over again with another scene.

      When my macbook crashed a couple months ago(thank you coffee) if I didn't have the same back up, my writing life would have been over. I lost every thing:(

      Yeah. Backing up is something that cannot be stressed enough.
      I've been doing it since I once lost a ... let's face it, a -super- terrible story when a floppy disk got wet. Looking back, I don't consider it as much of a loss, but at the time I screamed and moped for days.
      Then there was the time, just a few years back now, I thought my external had died and I had a major hissy fit. Turned out it was just the cord, of which we had a replacement. (Whew!)

      I've had mine for five years now, no problems apart from an easily replaced cord. ^_^

    Wow. That's a pretty supply collection. I usually just have plain pads of paper and my laptop... but you've just inspired me! I'm going to have a little fun this time :)

    Other than the computer, my only writing supplies are a 6x9 legal pad on a clipboard, where I keep all my notes, stapled together in bundles for each novel. I think I'm going to have to branch out eventually, though! That clipboard is starting to strain under the pressure.

    I was thinking of making character and location notebooks, where I have easy reference to character descriptions, traits, major plot points, and such. I should also make similar books for recurring locales and other physical things in the series. After a few books with the same characters, those details get easily muddled if I don't have a quick reference.

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

GUTGAA Meet and Greet!

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from vacation to introduce myself and say hi! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone and meeting some new friends! -Where do you write? I live in a camper. My writing spot? Usually in bed. But sometimes I get a chance to write in the "living room" but that's rare. When I am at home (yay!) I have my own little office:) I love m space there and I can write during the day light hours. Oh, who am I kidding! That's rare. -Quick. Go to your writing space, sit down and look to your left. What is the first thing you see? My husband. Yeah, he sleeps with me! -Favorite time to write? At night. When it's quite. Aaahhh. Sweet quite. -Drink of choice while writing? Depends on the time of day I get to write. In the morning, coffee, coffee and more coffee. (with Creme Brulee creamer!) Afternoon it's iced coffee. After school, it's Dr. Pepper. Night it's water. -When writin...

The Writers Voice Entry

How excited am I? Can't you hear me laughing and squeeing, right there where you are? Yep! I'm excited! I made it tot he first round of the Writers Voice!! So today, I've posted my entry, here int his blog post, for the coaches to come around and read and decide if I'm ready to move on to the next round. Keep your fingers crossed for me PLEASE:) The entry I'm posting as went through numerous rounds of edits and revisions to get it where it is already. I've cut, squeezed, rearranged and replaced so much, I think my brain is on fire! I've changed names, combined characters, cut characters, and I've changed titles a couple of times and agonized over my genre until I cried . I've put th e first three chapters through a couple of workshops and had feedback from a few agents, so I'm sure I 've got the results I wanted. (I can be honest, can't I?) So, here we go, you beautiful guys and dolls. Feel free to leave any comments that might ...
