Reasons to Keep a Writer in Your Home

I found this on Twitter and I thought I’d share it here too, along with a few additions of my own.

Original Tweet (via @PaperFury):

REASONS TO KEEP A WRITER IN YOUR HOME

• they know weird facts

• they’re low maintenance because all they do is eat and write

• great for midnight chats because they don’t sleep

• if they have to edit they’ll procrastinate by cleaning your whole house

I’ll also add:

• They almost always come with cats (if you don’t like cats, then you should probably avoid writers in general)
• Amazing book collection/personal library, which they’ll (most likely) share
• Will never say no to a cozy night in
• Lifetime (and then some) supply of pens, paper, and blank notebooks.
• Always have coffee and/or tea on hand.
• Will dedicate books to you
