So you want to write a book, but wonder whether you are equipped for success? Read on!

1) People (who write poetry) will tell you all you need to be a writer is paper and a pencil. But can you really trust a poet about tech? My motto has always been the more writing tools I have, the more I will write! It's simple math.

2) Yes, laptop. But for authorly authenticity as soon as you buy one, sandpaper some of the letters off. 'ShiftLCNM;:P' as a minimum. Now say after me "Oh, this laptop? Yeah it's munted, but I'm a bit sentimental about it since I wrote several bestsellers with it..."

3) Something weird that only a writer would own. Like this Korean retro Bluetooth keyboard paired with an old ipad. Because only a real writer would buy one! (Pro tip: vintage paper and ink ribbon typewriter for max street cred, though if you try to take it on a plane you will be arrested. Trust me on that.)

4) Macbook, or IPad+keyboard cover. Because one laptop is never enough and creatives use Apple. Using an Apple device boosts your creativity 600%. (Fact (C) Apple Inc.)

5) Kindle so you can listen to and approve the audiobook recording of your book. Smart phones also work but are less authorly. If you are anti-Amazon there are other eBook readers, apparently. Sound quality from a paperback can be a little hit and miss but they last longer between charges.

6) Digital paper device for annotating your final manuscript. You could print it out on actual paper and do it that way, but think of the trees, and the birds and insects who live in them, and the environmental cost of transporting all that paper. Plus it's easier to send it to your national library for posterity when they ask if you have an annotated copy of your Stella/Booker/Nobel prize winning novel.

Any tech I'm missing? Always looking to boost my output/creativity!
