Are you just going to keep coke by your table, or are you going to go heavy on sugary snacks? Do you have a writing prompt? Do you have lots of quotes stuck up on your wall opposite your desk? How much do you use a lamp?

I'm bringing apple vodka, cranberry juice and my four favorite muses, the dolls. I barely use lamps but we do use the ceiling light and there will tons of music, I hope.

I'm bringing my Halloween candy to keep me on constant sugar high. Plus I'll have my pathetic plot outline and a glass of water. I use two lamps... I'm a power-waster. Hmm, what else? ...Oh, I'll have the spirit of my MIA good luck charm, Ralph (don't ask, it's a sad and weird story).

I have my 10th anniversary T-shirt (Squeal! Can wear it for the first time in five days!). And I have a shopping list of salsa, breadsticks, easy to nibble chocolate and beer. The list could grow but that's all it contains at the moment. As I'm here on November 1st and am working November 2nd (will still be writing both days though!) I won't go shopping until the 3rd.

I, too, have my 10th Anniversary T-Shirt (i keep holding it, and smelling it, and i want to wear it NOW!), I have fingerless gloves, numerous sugary snacks which I will no doubt eat before next week, lots of sachets of instant hot chocolate, my plot bunny (a super-cute pencil-warmer with a bunny on top), lots of brand new notebooks, warm slippers, soft, cosy blankets, a brand spanking new laptop (hurrah) and oodles of determination :-D

- A never ending supply of coffee
- A post-it that says "Write!"
That is all.

My dear beloved pencil I've used for so long.
Insane amounts of coffee and tea
Cereals
My notebook where I've attempted to build my character.
I don't think my desk is an option. I actually spend so much time at school, most of my writing will be done there. In the library if I get the chance.

Ooo, good idea, I need one of those. :)
So far, I have my notebook, a ready supply of tea, a My Little Pony called Charlie as my Nano mascot (....typing that was more shameful than I thought) and according to my boyfriend, full access to the computer in the office room. :) I do like the idea of having pictures and quotes and other things stuck on the wall to inspire me though. I suppose I have a week to find some...

I like to keep a bowl of Frosted Flakes in front of my computer for writing. Drinks will be necessary, of course, preferably diet Sprite. I have scattered papers around my computer with notes drafted up in class, detailing plot, characters, etc. I have a calendar for my desktop saying the cumulative word count per day.

Copious amounts of iced tea
Gummi Worms
An insanely large music playlist
A mini notebook that I scribble inspiration into when I am out of the house
I still need a totem. I did this as a lark back in June with a friend of mine, and I succeeded then, so I am confident in my attempt in November. I didn't have a totem then either, but it would be kind of nice to have one. At least I have a week to think about it.

speaking of, what kinds of inspirational photos would you suggest?

Coffee, a bag of halloween candy, rum and coke, sunflower seeds, and pizza.
Sadly, this is my main staple as a general rule, save for the candy.

- Fuzzy slippers or extra-thick socks, comfy pants, thick and baggy sweater, hair elastic.
- My insane characters to keep talking in my head (haha).

True, but I am not sure if I will feel like cooking, and I am not a fan of readymade tv dinners/chips/pizza all the time, so healthy snacks (and a few unhealthy ones for good measure :-D) may be the way to go. I have easy recipes with fresh veggies too but I am not sure if I am safe around a stove when I am thinking of how to make my plot work :-D Sandwiches/soup/fruit may work the best for me. *makes note to stock up on soup*

A large variety of snacks, I don't like to have a bored palette when I'm trying to be creative
My iPod, and hopefully new headphones, or maybe I can yoink the good quality ones from my mom
Some sort of sugary treat to reward myself with
My new suduko game to give my brain a break from words
My sword just because it kicks butt
And a rotating cast of furry childhood friends to keep me company

I can't write without my coffee. For Nanowrimo, it goes in my nifty Nanowrimo mug. Cookies are also a requirement (thought not all the time0, and of course my trusty Alphasmart. Those things are amazing!
Good luck, everyone!
