Stuff I use as a full time writer/author (that you may have spotted in this video!) (affiliate links are afoot):
WRITING/WORK STUFF
Macbook Air. Doesn’t really need my recommendation. https://amzn.to/3soroc2
iPAPA laptop case: https://amzn.to/3slflwf
Mind-Reader adjustable/portable laptop desk. I LOVE this thing. Typing with my arms at an angle has drastically reduced elbow/wrist pain. https://amzn.to/2OYh0tX
Bluelight blocker glasses: https://amzn.to/2VAG51u
Best writing pens, hands down. I use them every time I revise a book. https://amzn.to/311nRoP
Acer monitor. I kind of hate the word gamechanger but this really was that kind of purchase. https://amzn.to/3vH71Kh
Brother laser printer. I won’t lie, this thing is a behemoth. But I’ve had it since 2017 and I think I’ve had maybe one paper jam? It works great, it’s super consistent, A++ for printing manuscripts. https://amzn.to/3tzIvZE
Alphasmart Neo2. Highly highly recommend. https://amzn.to/3cStKui
I'm a Skillshare Ambassador! I've been binging their courses on filmmaking and video editing, as well as writing, but there's all kinds of stuff for creative types! Try it out FREE for two week! https://skillshare.eqcm.net/RyG57R
COFFEE STUFF
Ninja coffee maker. https://amzn.to/31533Nu
Cold brew pitcher. https://amzn.to/3cSKVM9
Zulay milk frother. https://amzn.to/3r7DDJu
VIDEO MAKING STUFF
Canon G7X Mark iii camera. I love the flip up screen (ie, you can see yourself as you film) and the fact that there’s a mic port. https://amzn.to/3r9BfCb
Savage studio lights. I mostly use these for ‘talking head’ videos. https://amzn.to/3r7G6Un
Ubeesize 10” ring light. That’s the little guy sitting on my desk. I mostly use it for vlogging. https://amzn.to/31hqpzD
JJC mini tripod. https://amzn.to/3feXxjJ
Rode clip mic. https://amzn.to/2OSaLb2
