What Do You Need in Order to Write?

What do you need in order to write?

Do you need to be inspired? Would a grand vista just outside of your home make you a better writer? What would you write if you could look outside and see the waves crashing along the ragged shore, the very edge of the world? The ultimate springboard! What couldn't you write? Does your muse require this to write?

Sure it'd be wonderful to have and many a writer has been fortunate to have this type of view but speaking as a Muse, Irene E., you really don't need this to be a writer.

Perhaps a pristine or ornate writing desk with proper lighting and while were dreaming, lets add in the views of groomed gardens in the foreground and ocean vistas in the distance, in order to write. LOL

Sure! I'll take that! But add in an Apple Computer, huge screen, and state-of-the-art software, including digital cameras and other office equipment.

Truly, what you need is a few simple writing tools (pen and paper really) and the habit of writing. That's it!

You read advice from writers in magazines, books or papers and their number one question is, "How can I become a writer?" and their pat answer is always,"Write"!

So what are you waiting for? Get to it - Write something. Anything even if its a, "to do" list that includes buying a new home along the coast! Just write it!
