My tools for writing are my experiences
as a mom, a black spiral notebook and a blue Bic ink pen, and my ruby
red Dell laptop. A cup of hot tea and some form of chocolate also
help the writing process, but they are optional.
Inspiration Tool
Probably 80 percent of my writing
relates to my role as a mom of four. Sometimes I share stories about
the antics of my children, like when Will wanted
to sell his little brother. Other times I give a tip I've learned
for managing
life with children in the house.
Ideas List
Writing ideas often come when I least
expect them. Like at bed time when my 8 year old asks for tomorrow to
be Opposite Day so he can write only wrong answers on his school
work. That's when my small black spiral notebook and blue Bic ink pen
come in handy. I just jot down his funny quote in my book and save it
for a day I'm looking for something to write about.
Writing Implement
I don't
remember the last time I hand wrote anything longer than a
shopping list or a brainstorm of blog ideas. Whether I'm writing blog
posts, Cub Scout plans, or monthly menus I always use my ruby
red Dell laptop.
Today my 1st grader also
wrote a list of his favorite writing tools. What does a 7 year old
boy use to write? Scissors, colored pencils, pencils, and a
magnifying glass.
Magnifying glass?!
Who can understand the workings of the
mind of a 7 year old boy? Not me!

Enjoyed the list...makes me smile as our children "sound out" their words!
Fun reading--I use my laptop mostly; however, I still enjoy pen and paper especially for my calendar and notes to friends--for me there's still something about cute notecards and a letter in the mailbox! That's about the extent of my writing!!
Like seeing new posts here...:)
Amy,
Isn't their phonetic spelling fun? Ben did really well with no help.
I still like pen and paper for my calendar. I just need to be able to mark things off and to flip to multiple pages at the same time. I love receiving notes in the mail, even though I am terrible at writing them. :)
My laptop or desktop is mostly what I write with although I do have a blogging journal where I jot things down. Interesting post and I like this 30 days to being a better writer. :)
Thanks, Candice!
