I will be a panelist for a youth writing workshop soon. I am very excited about this. I have created a goodie bag for the workshop, a Young Writer’s Survival Kit. I wanted to give them something to take home. And I wanted to give them chocolate. Because of course.

Here is my haul, mostly from the Dollar Store.
I got 128MB flash drives from Amazon $2 each, and I had the shiny paper hoarded from forever.

 

Here is the text on the card:

Slime – When you have writer’s block do something else. Go for a walk, do something with your hands…
Tiny notebook – Every writer should have something to write down inspiration when it strikes
Chocolate – When you struggle getting motivated chocolate can give you a boost
Flash drive – Always back up your work!
You are awesome – Create a stare-at-the-wall-and-think collage for when you’re daydreaming.

Here is a shopping list if you just want to grab it all from Amazon:

Slime

Tiny notebooks

Chocolate dark chocolate is good for you

Flash drive sparkly is also good for you

Sparkly paper

Favor/goodie bags I say crossbones I don’t care if it’s all girls girls can be pirates too

You could also include candy, hot cocoa mix, protein bars, neat-o erasers…
