A Writer's Best Tool Is A List

I hear that a writers best tool is a list.

 

Come on think about it. We use list all the time and how handy to use list when you are working on a project.

 

Now I don't mean your list has to be as boring as a shopping list- but as I just learned when writing a list you will always find out something about yourself or your character that you may not know or do know, but ponder it rarely.

 

So your job my fellow writers if you choose to is to come up with Two list on anything you want really- Consuming of 50 items.

 

Examples could be

.Music for your novels soundtrack

.Books that inspire you

.Food and beverages your character likes and dislikes

.Favorite places anywhere in the world

 

You get the idea [?]

 

For example my list was: Things I dislike and that annoy me.

Some of the items on my list were:

.Cutting my legs while shaving

.Men whistling in cars

.Anything regarding the Army

.Being itchy

.Movies based on true life serial killers

. Morning hunger

.Sleeping without a light and a fan

 

So there you have it.

You mission if you choose to accept it.

 

Rules

. Must have 50 items

. No stupidity - Have fun, but make sense.

. Bonus points if it is for a character

. In your authors notes A/N - Write your favorite beverage

 

Any questions IM me
