This wouldn't by any chance be your favorite pen...would it?

Oh, I just remembered...I like to have my computer with me when I write...I guess that would be my "thing"...
Rest in Peace
I had seen this article when it first appeared in a newsletter earlier this year, and now that I'm working on my author page over on Amazon, I thought I'd dig it up...
Are you rightfully an "award-winning writer?" Well, according to Writing-World if you've ever won a contest you most definitely are...which I know happens to apply to a few people here...go for it my friends...
Step Into the Winner's Circle!

So perhaps a closed door with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on it would be the "thing" I need.
A "Do Not Disturb" sign? Way too late for that...I'm already disturbed...
So, you write while you're awake, eh Rump? I'll have to try that one sometime...not sure how it would work though...
Rest in Peace
I don't really have a lucky "thing" per se, but I can't really imagine writing without a cup of coffee and a pack of cigarettes nearby...just sayin'
Rest in Peace

Quote by Rumple_deWriter
Maybe we should try our hand at, say: Peace and War by Leo Tolkien, or some such.
That's a great idea there Mr. Rump, and maybe I'll do that one next...still have to finish the ones I'm working on now..."For Whom The Toll Bells" and "The Crimson Letter"...
