A Writer’s Pantry
The Write Stuff

I’m including a great big list of all the tools and supplies a budding writer could ever need. Rest assured, you really don’t need all of these things, and you certainly don’t need them all at once. You may pick stuff up here and there over time, repurpose some office supplies you already own, or grab a couple of things when you see them on sale. (Basic writing supplies make good little gifts too; a cute memo pad and decorative pencil is a no-brainer for stocking stuffers, goody bags, restaurant trips, or trick or treats.)
