Not the pen. Nor is it the Pencil, quill, notebook or double lock Diary. It's not even the most powerful laptop or any portable word processor Steve Jobs has aided the world with. It must be his brain and imagination. WRONG!
For anybody who is inspired or bored may dream beautiful thoughts and design inventions. You need not be a writer, more so write to come up with a joke or tell a story. A sense of reason is required but what separates writers from thinkers is the most underrated weapon in any scribe's chamber. The prized item of a wordsmith's arsenal must be
The CHAIR. The most crucial Decision a writer must ever make in life is not which word, or how many syllables or what rhymes with zinc. Instead it is what piece of furniture fits my achy back the best. What fabric soothes my ass through long overtime sleepless hours the most? What product in Ikea should I invest in, so that I would rather sit at home alone to spend anti social days to record the brilliant figments of said imagination? Which chair reclines all the way back to utter frustration and at the same time is able to hold me up and keep me awake as I jot down or type random Shakespeare In Love material. Your chair should be your love seat. For a laborer knows it takes every day of his life to master the craft. And it takes love to want to be regarded a wizard in any craft.
So if one is to want to be a successful scribe, one must sit on it, the decision that is as heavy as a marriage vow.
