I met up with a writer friend today and between the cake and coffee we strayed onto books and unsurprisingly agreed that...
All writers:
Have a big stack of books that they have bought and intend to read- they just haven't got round to it yet...
If they see a notebook they like they'll buy it, even if they have a dozen in the drawer at home...
Lots of methods for backing up your work- I seem to have quite a few memory sticks now...
Among the big stack of books in my home are quite a few that are for reference. Sometimes they relate to a project I intend to get to later, rather than now or the next few months.
I just have this fear that if I don't get it when I see it I won't remember or find it again- when I do need it.
Now you'll probably have your own ideas of what to add to the list, so please share your particular writing related must haves in the comments section- just to reassure us all we are not crazy, we're just writers.

Scarily accurate.
So true, Carol. I have a big stack of books waiting to be read and I've probably got more notebooks than I'll ever be able to use.
I'm a sucker for pens too.
So good to know I'm not imagining these writer traits. :)
