1. A medium
ex: pen or pencil and paper, typewriter, computer, smart phone, tablet, audio recorder
This kind of medium…
… not this kind of medium.
2. Buttocks (ass)
3. Chair (to sit your buttocks in)
4. Window (to gaze out of while waiting for inspiration to strike)
Right
Wrong
5. Imagination

[…] I read a post by C.L. Parson, and I realized how much I really love having a window where I write, and how it made me productive with my work. You can find the post here. […]

Love this..I have all Five!!!

Thanks! Ha ha!

All accounted for except for the donkey. Mine is still on backorder.
I’m borrowing one from the neighbor up the street. Yes, we do have donkeys where I live. #thesticks
That’s gotta be more interesting than in suburbia where we have squirrels and the occasional stray cat. Though, I have seen a guy walking a mastiff that could pass for a small horse.
I love Mastiffs! The donkeys like to get wild at times. Lots of heehawing.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a donkey heehaw before. I’ve seen them at petting zoos, but they never made any noise.
Lucky you! It loses its novelty after about 10 seconds. LOL!
I’m going to take your word for that and not go out of my way to find out.
LOL!
Sometimes I think that other kind of medium might come in handy…
awesome
Thank you!
Clever, very nice presentation.
Keep it up : )
Thank you!
you forgot Beer – for liquid insperation (although I do have to admit its hell on the spell check)
I did forget that, though it depends on the time of day. I do a lot of writing in the morning, especially on weekends. I haven’t written enough novels or made enough money to become a “before noon” drinker yet. And in case my mom reads this, I am joking.
You should only drink before 5 PM on certain days of the week- I recommend only the ones that end with Y.
I can hear your liver screaming from here. Ha ha ha! Have a great one!
I read a book on writing (written by a writer) who said you should have no view at all, so as not to be distracted. I guess its all about what works for you. I don’t need a view, but I DO need some natural light!
Most of my ideas come when I am staring blankly out the window. I can see that it can become a distraction for some. As you said, whatever works for you. Thank you for the comment! 🙂
One more thing you need – a Liebster Award! And I’ve nominated you for one. Details are on my site, Good Golly Miss Molly. Congratulations and enjoy.
Thank you so much! I feel so loved!
I have four things LOL. What I miss… is the window. I use to have a window, and I used to sit there for hours writing or staring out, while imagining new characters or worlds… I really miss my window 🙂
I know how you feel. I cannot work without a window. Maybe you can find a landscape painting and put it in a window frame and hang it on your wall. 🙂
I have a window, but I do not own a writing table… But I soon hope to have one. 🙂
Those five things are all we really need. It really is that simple. But I am always surprised at how we can procrastinate instead of write.
I put some beautiful windows in my office. I have a great view, but during the winter, in the afternoon, the sun is so low, it comes through the window and blinds me. I think about investing in blinds, but they defeat the purpose of having the windows. I may have to change my furniture around. For now I hide behind my computer screen.
This made me smile 🙂 If these are all I need, then I am all set! What the heck took me so long?
So glad it made you smile. What I find amazing is that after you label yourself as a writer, you begin to see everything through the lens of a writer. Very cool. Happy writing!
Oh my gosh, the window is crucial. Cute post 🙂
Glad to hear you were just joking with rbdavis5 ;0)
