WRAPPING THINGS IN PURPLE PAPER
MY WRITEDAY May/June 2025 Box Reveal
WRAPPING THINGS IN PURPLE PAPER!
26 May 2025
It’s time to unwrap and take a look at the "My Writing Coach" box for May/June My WriteDay subscribers!
What writer hasn’t dreamed of having a solid writing coach at arm’s length with a good pair of editing eyes and a cache of great ideas to help create and polish a piece of writing? Yes, we writers must work in solitude for the sake of focus and authenticity, but all of our writing eventually needs another perspective to offer constructive suggestions to improve the final product. I hope “My Writing Coach” offers this to you.
Let’s look at it all.
1. Writing Coach in a Box caught my eye during an inventory shopping session and made me chuckle at first because, like I noted, I would love to have a decent writing instructor and proofreader handy all of the time. I just never thought of keeping them tucked away in a box until I need them. Well, the writing craft “book” is this set of inspiring and practical writing tips from “author, publisher, and writing guru” Alan Anderson. The cards are worthy of spending random time to read through, pick one for a journaling session, sharing at writer’s critique sessions, and providing sound reminders of what it takes to write anything!
2. Flower Petals, Blossoming Guidance from the Garden is part of the flower theme for this box. Each card is beautifully illustrated and includes ideas for journaling prompts. The language of flowers is a real concept developed during the
Victorian era as the study of botany flourished. From everyday household suggestions to hidden meanings of different blooms, these cards are a contemporary take on this idea. Use them to inspire journal entries, blog posts, or tuck them into the celebration cards you mail to friends and loved ones.
3. Blueberry Vanilla Cashews from Earthside Farms in New York will win over anyone who already loves to snack on nuts and those who have previously turned up their noses at this healthy treat. Earthside calls their line of products “snacking reimagined” which grabbed my attention because all writers are regularly in need of ideas and healthful snacks. I keep a bag on my desk for those moments when I need a munchie but don’t want to walk away from the work-in-progress. I would love to know what you think of these delightful treats.
4. Flowered Pencil Pouch (or make-up, markers, etc.) holder. Keeping with the theme of flowers, I’ve packed this pretty pencil pouch with bookmarks and office supplies.
5. There are reading and writing stickers, a Thoughtfull pop-out journal prompt, and promotional bookmarks from some my author friends.
Also, I am experimenting with wrapping the boxes for a couple of reasons.
1)boxes were getting beat up during shipping
2)wrapping reduces the amount of tape and stickers on the boxes themselves
3)subscribers have told me that they keep and repurpose MWD purple boxes and would like for them to be in better shape after shipping
If you are a current subscriber, what did you think of the wrapping paper? Better, worse, no opinion? I'd love to know.
