Have What You Need On Hand

Read Ezra 4-6

Ezra 6:9 "And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:"

When I go into a store, I have to avoid the stationery aisle. All those notebooks, papers, and pens can be too much temptation.

Too often I can justify the purchases because you can never have too many writing tools. All writers need is something to write on and something to write with and then let our imaginations soar.

But it is a good idea to make sure we have what we need on hand in order to write. That way, when the ideas come, we will be able to capture them, and we will also be able to work on the rewriting and polishing of the writing we have already done.
