A Writers Wish List for the Holidays

What do writers want for the holidays?

I am here to give you the inside scoop:

• A new computer (one that is guaranteed not to crash, resistent to kids sticky fingers and spills, that weighs less than 5 lbs and folds up into a business card size.)
• Sharpies (Preferably red. Lots and lots of Red!)


• Reams and reams and reams of Recycled Paper. (If only paper would grow on trees. Oh yeah it does - crumbs!)


• More time - let me be more specific - more time for writing (not cleaning, watching TV, cooking, running errands, etc)


• Personalized, "we love you" rejection letters


• Offer of representation! (from an agent who can't live without me or my books!)


• A multi-book contract ( A 33 book deal would be ideal)


• Books! (Lots and lots of books)


• Ideas for YA books (please keep them commercial yet literary, balancing character-driven with plot-driven, with authentic character voice)


• Black Printer ink


• A sony reader or Kindle


• Money or a Money tree would be better (anything would help at this point)


• Optimism


• Cable Tv cancellation


• The ability to freeze time


• One of those cool, rare "agent mind-readers" (I think the Agent is sold seperately. But I would prefer the one that comes with a Agent.)


• A love-my-book potion designed specifically for Editors


• A glimpse into the future of publishing


• Fingers that run on auto-pilot


• Typing lessons


• A butt cushion (I need one that does 2 things: protects my butt from flattening AND is comfy)


• Hope - a life-time supply please


• Fat Free Peanut MMs (do they make those?


• Did I say Money?
• My own Personal muse


• A critique group that agents and publishes books


• Stop asking - "are you published yet?" (Trust me - I will tell you!)


• A secret hideaway office where kids are not allowed


• An introduction to Oprah or Ellen


• Free travel and hotel


• A brain hook-up to "everything you need to know in writing a book in a day"


• More blogger and Facebook friends


• To get published!
