I’m just starting a new
manuscript, which is a stage that involves much brainstorming. For me, that
involves a lot of good old-fashioned pen and paper. I scrawl out lists and charts
and random circled notes. And then I re-think things and want to change them. Which
is where – in the past – things got messy. I would either have to use pencil - which I don't like - so
that my scribbles erased nicely, or scratch out what I’d written in pen.
Then, I found the perfect
solution.
Erasable pens. That actually
work! Sure, erasable pens have been around forever, but neither the ink nor the
eraser ever really worked right. Then I found these. They actually erase.
Completely. And they come in different colors. Now I can easily assign separate
colors to different plot points or characters. I can’t tell you how much this
has changed my life. I know, this is the point where you’re thinking that I really
need to get out more. True. But at least while I’m stuck in my office dreaming
up new and creative ways to commit crime, I’ll have the right tools to do it.
