So you have a writer in your life. Some days she speaks to you, others she completely ignores you. (Maybe that's just my poor husbands' experience...he he he) In any case, let me show you what any writer, male or female, will want to receive as an after-the-holidays gift from you.- Writers Write! So give your writer a journal. My favorite are of course the Moleskine The Official Moleskine website - Moleskine ® - you can't go wrong here and your writer will love you for it.

- Writers are in Love with Words: We play with them, we mull them over, we struggle with them. Words are our love and our enemy. If we can't quite get the right word we may go into writer-shut-down mode. My husband knows this as the silent treatment. So, lovers of writers, find your writer a good book of words - otherwise known as a thesaurus. Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus: David Auburn, Rae Armantrout, David Crystal, Michael Dirda, Bryan A.

Sales are already papering the internet and right after New Year's Eve - most every store will tack their red sale sign on their doors. Have fun, but buy responsibly.
And don't be surprised when the writer in your life thanks you and then disappears into their office for a few hours to play with his/her new gifts.
