Stuff For Writers

Well, here’s a fun site: Cool Stuff For Real Writers.

At this CafePress Shop you can get T-shirts, mugs, buttons, and so forth that have slogans for writers.

Here are a few samples:

• I write therefore I am broke.
• Carpe Edim. Seize the editor. Then choke him for ruining your story.
• I’d like to write a bestselling memoir, but my mom told me never to lie.
• Please do not annoy the writer. She may put you in a book and kill you.

I love the writer’s teddy bear muse.

Via Truth Universally Acknowledged.
