Thoughtful Gifts For Your Best-Selling Writer Friends
The work is grueling. I can pretend to enjoy it more when my pen is pretty.
I AM A WRITER
This must be announced at the top of my lungs every now and then to convince myself that it is true.
It is unforgiving, blood-letting, accursed work that drives me to insanity. I can never stop.
Worse yet, there are many, many, many people out there who are in this same boat, also desperately bailing out water with every pen-stroke; write enough, and you will not sink. And yet, we continue to set sail! Every now and then, it’s nice to know that our work is appreciated.
And that is where YOU come in. This is a short list of
GIFTS FOR A WRITER
Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, get well soon, hurry up you have a deadline, and just thinking-of-you kind of gifts. As a writer myself, here are the kind of items that I would love a friend to get for me.
Journals
I’ve been keeping a journal ever since I was 8 years old, but I had an epiphany about journaling not too long ago - You can have MULTIPLE journals for different purposes! Not everything needs to be written into one single journal. You also don’t even have to fill up all of the pages of that journal before getting a new one!
A six-month guide of gratitude, positivity, mindfulness and personal growth with actionable steps to help establish your focus and gear your mindset towards consistently experiencing better days.

Fancy Pens
These are mostly vanity, but boy, do they make a good impression. There’s nothing like whipping out an outrageous and expensive pen in front of people that says, “I’m about to write something GOOD.” Personally, any pen that writes nicely and is close at hand is a ‘good pen for writing,’ but this is a list for gifts, not the ordinary every day item. They should be special.

Ambience
One of the best things you can gift a writer is the perfect atmosphere and space.
Maybe they write with music playing. Maybe in complete silence. The middle of the day. The middle of the night. Every writer has their own tempo and feel that suits their creative flow.
