I’d definitely have to agree with farzana doctor. Time is the best gift for a writer. [of course there are other amazing things. XD]

I hope you will check out my new website before the holidays this year. I’m tried to find some very cool stuff for writers.
Thanks

Over on my blog A Biblio Paradise (http://biblioparadise.wordpress.com), I have a list of writing books for writers and why I think each of them works.

I love the NYPL stores — they have great stuff, and lots of little stuff for stocking stuffers.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art stores also have amazing knick-knacks and books, some of them geared to writers.

And the JP Morgan Library, also in NY — it’s expensive, but the quality is supreme.

How about a week’s stay at the Whidbey Island Writer’s Refuge? If the distractions of everyday life are keeping a loved one from finishing (or even begining) a writing project, help him or her get away, get inspired, and get it done. The Writer’s Refuge offers amenities for living and writing comfortably—and none of the distractions your loved one will find at home. For information, visit http://www.writersrefuge.com.

I added massage and spa treatment to my list… what writer doesn’t need a paid getaway from the keyboard. Thanks for your suggestions.

Before getting your writer friend a writers guide, ask them if they would ever use it. I’ve read several of them and they just make me feel kind of stupid. That’s just my oppinion, but according to the NaNoWriMo forums, one of the only writers guide that doesn’t make us feel stupid is No Plot? No Problem! because it doesn’t tell you how to write stuff, it offers encouragement and time management methods. Whereas most writers guides will tell you that there is only one way to write things when in reallity, you can do whatever you want while writing. And they’re good procrastination methods (if I wanted to, I could have a story ready to write, and spend years reading writing guides, and get no where with this story), which is the last thing most writers need.

Love this list! But honestly I’m with farzana doctor when I say “all I want for Christmas” is an extra hour in every day. Seriously! Chocolate is nice, too.

I have one of those typewriter key necklaces. My grandparents gave it to me last Christmas. It’s one of the only pieces of jewelry I wear.

Although, my favorite literary item ever is an eraser I got from the Globe that says “Out damned spot! Out I say!” I’m pretty sure they can be ordered online.

Here is my kit for writers! (for the begining of NANO)

After halloween buy a BIG bag of candy, one with 50 bars: They tell your NANO peep that they are allowed to eat 1 every thousand words!
Pretty Journals or Plain?: Plain not boring but plain, I am afraid I will not write somthing worthy of an italian leather journal, but a red hardback giant note book from Borders, says “Pwease write in me!”
Cute pencils and erasers: lots! (oh yes and a pencil sharpener!
and LAST BUT NOT LEAST: If they are a caffine addict buy them, Mountain Dew or STARBUCKS! (for the starbucks worshiper get a gift card and say give yourself a starbucks every 5 or 10 thousand words depending on what drink they get, the strait coffee people only cost about 1.50 the pretty yummy stuff is 3.5o)

All I know is I am doing this for ME next year
