Here are some of my favorite tools for living the indie author life:
Motivating candle: She’s Writing a Bestseller. Hey, it’s a start!
I bought this steering wheel “writing” tray YEARS ago and love it! One side holds a drink and food, but if you flip it over–voila!–you can hook it onto the steering wheel, put your laptop on it, and write in the car! (Not while you’re driving, obvi.) I live near a foggy beach, so I often drive over to do some writing while listening to wave action 🌊. It’s the coolest thing.
Mo’ Maggie I heard about this lotion from a flight attendant friend.
A little on the feet helps me sleep well so I can write more.
Who doesn’t love Roller Ball Pens? These are my absolute favorite because I have terrible penmanship, but not so much with these. Lol
I literally own half a dozen of these Seat Cushions (they are all over my house). Makes the proverbial “butt-in-chair” much more tolerable, Lol
Dab (not rub) Kiehl’s Eye Cream under the eyes after a long day of writing!
These Eye Patches are soooo cooling after a long day of work.
In all honesty, I deal with anxiety, so a calming drink near bedtime helps so much. Amazon tells me I’ve bought SuperCalm 9 times this year … so, yea. Highly recommend*.
Another favorite for calming anxiety is this organic ashwagandha. I actually subscribed to this one so I never run out*. Great help to me before public appearances!
*I only recommend supplements that I myself take and find helpful. Please check with your doctor before trying, especially if you have any medical conditions.
