For tea today, we’re on the road! I’m serving Bigelow’s Constant Comment tea in a leak-proof travel mug along with a Kind almond walnut macadamia bar.
Writing time is difficult to find. I’m learning I need to use little bits of time whenever I can grab them. For long stints, I pack my laptop, but for camping or quick trips around town, I’m going low-tech. My Writing Travel Bag has become very important to take with me so I can be productive. What do I keep in my bag?
- notebook with lined pages for writing and an interior pocket for a print-out of my WIP for editing
- craft book I’m currently reading ( Rivet Your Readers With Deep Point Of View by Jill Elizabeth Nelson)
- portable plotting board with lots of sticky notes (I got mine from Pikes Peak Romance Writers a few years ago.)
- extra pens
- turquoise notebook which goes with me always to keep ideas about current and future writing projects
- packet of jelly beans for a writing reward
The bag from Little Miss Matched (www.littlemissmatched.com) is just the right size with handles which fit nicely over my shoulder for carrying.
Pam Hillman posted about how to organize conference tote bags in Seekerville yesterday. www.seekerville.net My Writing Travel Bag seemed appropriate for today.
I’m ready to grab my bag as I head out the door to another writing adventure–any time, any place.
What do you carry in your writing travel bag? Please leave a comment with your ideas! Thanks for having tea with me on the road!
