Nancy
Drew - Curse of Blackmoor Manor
Aug. 2004 title. |
This is a series of interactive games. Though this
title is not getting as much praise as previous Nancy Drew game titles,
it's a perfect gift for someone who has all the others.
Get it for a writer with a child. Let that writer study the child's responses and learn a lot about holding an audience. |

| Now why would you think of a GPS (Global
Positioning System) -- a navigation aid for your car -- when thinking of
a gift for your favorite writer?
Well, if the writer already has a great computer and laser printer, and writes contemporary fiction -- wellllll -- just as plots based in a world where cell phones don't exist seem unrealistic, plots about action characters who haven't bothered to get a GPS for their car or pocket seem too dumb to be believed. If you own and use one of these, you will be able to create plots involving characters who use them that seem much more realistic. |

I have a larger, clumsier version of this made by
Lexar and sold at WalMart for about this price.
It's a "jump drive" -- a little detachable harddrive. You plug it into the USB port on your computer, then use Windows Explorer to dragndrop files onto it, like it was any other drive. Stick it in your purse, and you can go through Airport Security and it doesn't get ruined. Mine holds half as much Megs - and I have almost all my current novels and all my publicity flyers and working correspondence on it. So when traveling, you practically have your own desktop harddrive with you (except for programs). If your boss lets you write at work, this could be the best device for keeping your files synchronized and backed up. |

This is the guts of a home-theater setup. You need
separate speakers too.
Then you can connect all the usual components into this control box and really upgrade your lifestyle. OK, it's an expensive luxury, but a writer can often benefit more from watching a DVD on a really great system and just soaking up the atomosphere. If you have a big family, this is cheaper than going to theaters in the long run. |
