Oh, if these gifts for writers were but possible — perhaps someday…

Ten Holiday FANTASY Gifts for the Writer in Your Life by Lindsay Schopfer
1. A cat video filter for her internet browser
2. A “Cliff Notes” version of a book on the craft of writing
3. A word processor that auto-corrects telling instead of showing (Editor’s note: Why can’t magic wands be word processors, we are fantasizing after all.)
4. An instant-inspiration pill that is not harmful, habit-forming, or fattening
5. A mobile desk so she can pace and write at the same time (See gift item #9 below)
6. A voice-activated graphic design program that will take an infinite number of vocal commands to design the perfect book cover
7. A music app that syncs up the type of scene she’s writing with the appropriate mood music
8. Special glasses that can scan peoples’ brains and instantly know whether they’ll be interested in her book or not
9. An automated candy dispenser that will only release a piece of chocolate for each time she writes another 1,000 words (see Gift Item #5 above)
10. A keyboard that makes the writer typing feel like petting a dog (or a cat — editor’s note)
