As an art student, I couldn’t wait to go to the art store to pick up my supplies… fun toys to make art with… Yay! Those students who had to take an art class to fill a requirement… those were the last to get their supplies usually.

That’s certainly one advantage writing has over painting; I don’t have to buy supplies to support my art.

Pete: Hmm. Depends on your preferences.
It could be a shiny new computer on which you could pound out a magnum opus. Or, if you like to show some flair when writing poetry, perhaps a sleek fountain pen and some crisp, clean sheets of paper on which to bare your soul… (doesn’t have to be all fancy calligraphy, either – I found a fountain pen can do amazing things to your handwriting.)
Even a notebook can go from a little $9.97 leather-bound Italian model from Barnes & Noble to Orvis’ refillable $89 beauty (also leather-bound) – the refills are $32.50 for a pack of three…
Mark, always prepared to be someone else’s bad influence đŸ˜‰
In my youth, I eschewed the fountain pen required for school work and scribbled almost illegibly in pencil on reams of ruled three-hole. I put out more volume of verbiage in those days than in all the wonderful word processor and computer years since. Would I be a better writer if I had grown up with the tools of today? Who knows?
Hee hee, I love that Mouse is getting much enjoyment out of this. XD
In my case, I tried to go early, but when I took the bus to (supposedly) the right area, I couldn’t find the shop before it was time to get back to res. I ended up being late with them after all, and had to get a cab to take me there. If i recall correctly the cabbie had to drive around a bit to find it, too.
