I may not be a particularly good writer yet, but I can’t seem to function if I don’t write something every day.

I do the bulk of my writing from home, so my list is a little different…

1. My husband to have already gotten his coffee – leaving the pot 3/4 empty for me – so I can curse, then make my own pot.

2. Everyone to have mysteriously dissapeared just as the dog makes his final spin on the rug in front of the door – you know the one – that spin just prior to losing bladder control. So I can curse, clean the mess, and take the dog outside to his kennel.

3. And the most important thing of all – the sound of the door closing as the last person leaves for work or school and I can stop cursing and start writing.

Ha! Tis true

1. my laptop
2. paper (or napkin, paper towel, old envelope, or anything else to write on)
3. any writing utensil (pen, pencil, marker, crayon–basically the first thing I find)

Sue: In my case coffee came before freelancing. I’ve been drinking coffee for over have of my life, freelancing for only a third of it. I must say though, the two go hand and hand rather well. I *always* have a cup of coffee nearby 24/7. I can’t imagine trying to work without it. But yeah, I guess for me its a life ‘thing’, not just a freelancer tool

My computer and internet (my laptop actually hates me and I want to replace it)

Pens and paper (I love writing notes)

My supportive husband, who keeps me going during the low times.

Mine would be 1) my laptop (and now that I have built in broadband, I would hate to give that up!), 2) my iphone (for when I’m too lazy to carry around my laptop), and 3) coffee (lots of it at all times). And when I’m on a train or someplace with no internet/service, 4) notebook & pen.

Interesting how many people mention coffee or beverages. I need my coffee even when I’m not working. So I’m curious why so many consider coffee to be a must for freelancing?
