The Ultimate Writing Bag

My best friend gave me a belated birthday present the other day, when we finally had a few minutes to cross paths. I refer to it as the ultimate writing bag.

To start, it is purple, which has been my favorite color for my entire life. Inside is a multisensory experience, designed to facilitate the writing process for the rest of the summer.


I can slough away dead skin and reveal a new me with a new bath pouf and foot cream. Lavender and rosemary soap stimulates my sense of smell, while keeping me calm. Incense inspires the creative mind. The moon pendant seeks to channel the creativity.

Chocolate wine and ice wine roll around on my tongue and release inhibitions. Chocolate snacks add to the gustatory delight. 

Black Keys CDs and Jim Morris's biography enlighten the musical side that drives me.

The obligatory notebooks and folder are for recording thoughts and ideas, while theoretically also staying organized. 

Even more fun treats are spread out on that table, that have special meaning to me, and she knows it. Let's hope the birthday bag works its magic these next few weeks!
