Do you have a favorite shirt / hat / pair of socks / scarf / mitten / pair of underpants that you like to wear while doing your writing?
How about a lucky rock / troll doll / action figure / mug / piece of pocket lint?
Do you find that you write better in a particular position, location or while listening to a particular piece of music?
Our muses are all around us, and now is the time to start thinking about what guise they might be wearing and entice them to stay near us in the coming month. What's YOUR writing totem? Mine's a metal teapot with a brown monkey tea cozy on it - it stays by my side and holds out the promise of instant refreshment the minute I turn my eyes away from my computer.
How about you guys?

I have a pink "Reading is Sexy" shirt from Book Shop Santa Cruz, and I always wear my fluffy, cozy, cashmere mittens. I listen to music by Kerli constantly.

Okay, I'll bite - how do you type wearing mitties?

Who says I use my hands to type? No haha...I actually mainly hunt-and-peck which is sad but I'm pretty fast now. So I only use my index fingers.
