Writer's Outfitting Excursion

I spent longer in town than I'd expected. My trip to the library was mostly unfruitful. I will have to order the books I'll really be needing. But I did go on a "writer's outfitting" excursion to several stores. I have now safely cocooned myself at my desk with everything I'll need. A variety of herbal tea? Check. Pixie Stix? Check. Red pen? Check. Orange soda, empty notebooks, scented candle? All checked. But my three most important writing tools (excluding the computer) are comfortable pants, a stress ball, and my downtime slinky!
