More Xmas ideas from Margaret Atwood

By popular demand..
1. A small notebook, so your budding novelist can carry it everywhere and jot down notes, and possibly addresses. Moleskine is the classic, but there are many others. Should fit in pocket or bag.
2. A large box. This is for all the drafts. Keep them! You may need them later.
3. Mortification: Writers and Their Public Shame, compiled by Robin Roberston. Everything awful that may happen to you in public has already happened to someone else, almost. Add to the list (I hope not).
Check out the rest of the list on Margaret Atwood’s webpage.
