Essential Tools for Every Writer: A Comprehensive List of 20

In the world of arts and creativity, the author ARHuelsenbeck, a former elementary general music teacher, shares her insights and experiences through her blog, ARHtistic License. Recently, she has been immersed in a YA mystical fantasy, a Bible study guide, and is submitting a poetry chapbook for publication.

If you're serious about writing, ARHuelsenbeck believes that a well-equipped and inspiring writing space is essential. Here's a list of items she considers indispensable for a productive writing environment:

  • A quiet area for focus and concentration
  • A desk and ergonomic chair to ensure comfort during long writing sessions
  • Good lighting, either natural or from a quality desk lamp, to prevent eye strain
  • A bookshelf to store your writing tools, reference materials, and books relevant to your work
  • A computer with Microsoft Word and a printer, along with printer supplies
  • Writing software (optional) to help streamline your writing process
  • Notebooks and writing utensils for jotting down ideas and brainstorming
  • A dictionary and thesaurus for enhancing your vocabulary and refining your writing
  • A good book on writing, such as "The Writer's Workout," "Set Up a Writing Date," or "The Benefits of Joining a Writers Group" (all available on her blog)
  • Sticky notes and notepads for organising thoughts and keeping track of deadlines
  • Paper clips, scissors, and tape for managing documents and papers
  • Envelopes and stamps for correspondence and mailing your work
  • A telephone for important calls and communications
  • A coffee mug, cough drops, and other personal items to make your space feel more like home
  • An inspirational poster or embroidery to motivate creativity
  • A CD player and about 15 of your favourite CDs for background music

Remember, your writing space is a reflection of your creativity and should be tailored to your personal preferences. ARHuelsenbeck suggests adding a printed inspirational poster to your workspace to keep you motivated and focused.
