This is a fun thread on the NaNoWriMo forum. Here are the contents of my so-called kit thus far:
Thumb drive (because I'll be going among a PC desktop at home, a Mac laptop (huge, not very lightweight) at work, and a netbook for write-ins at cafes and the like)
yWriter5 free writing software on all three computers (I'm loving this -- perfectly designed for NaNoWriMo)
NaNoWriMo stickers on all three computers (gotta get into the spirit, dontcha know)
NaNoWriMo desktop wallpaper (varied) for all three computers
Unlimited coffee and lattes and month-long self-permission to drink as much of it and as many of them as I like (er, but I already give myself these things anyway)
Good-for-me-snacks (to fuel the body --> baby carrots, protein)
Bad-for-me snacks (to reward set word counts --> chocolate, trail mix, etc.)
Green water bottle
Composition book for notes and the perfect pen (have yet to locate the latter, though I like Pilot G-2 .07 gel writers)
Post-It notes (for just in case)
Chris Baty's No Plot? No Problem!
Writing totems: Where the Wild Things Are stuffed animal (Bernard) at home, and a piece of yellow jade for the road, burning candle
iPod NaNoWriMo playlist (must compile this) and earbuds
Writing-friendly clothing: NaNo t-shirts plus leggings, thick socks, warm scarves, and fingerless gloves
Baseball cap with "Just write it" pin
That's it so far ...
Any additional suggestions?
