A writer on the move: What comes with me everywhere

I always keep a pad of paper and a pen or two available in my bag, as a writer there are times that an idea hits me in a rush, and you need a slower, traditional means of writing – there are times a computer will just not do. Besides my MacBook Air laptop, I keep a Monster battery charger for my mobile devices. Several books travel with me, of course – currently I am reading 'Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking Book' by Malcolm Gladwell, and 'True Hallucinations: Being an Account of the Author's Extraordinary Adventures in the Devil's Paradise' by Terence McKenna. Other items that I never travel without tend to be toiletries, headphones, business cards, and my favorite cannabis lotion (amazing stuff – truly takes away muscle aches and pains), as well as any recent writings that I'm toying with.
Now that I have settled into my new life as a Fort Collins marketing firm office manager/admin assistant, I am a writer on the go, and so I thought I would touch upon what always travels with me. Although, I am known for my photography, I typically do not include my A7R camera in with my everyday necessities. Most of my photography needs throughout any regular day in Colorado, as a marketeer by day and blogger by night, I use my iPhone 6 for – I usually only travel with my camera when I am off exploring and on a trip, otherwise, I keep my camera safe in my office.

As a writer, you can either travel simply, with a pen and tablet of paper, or something closer to my daily kit, for modern writers and travelers – a day pack can change all of the time, depending on what I'm up to, but what I've listed above is both typical and a necessity for my work flow.
Besides my beloved laptop, the star in my everyday parade is my WaterField Design's Muzetto messenger bag by San Francisco Bags. The right bag can be everything – without a comfortable, accessible and durable bag, your everyday kit can be more of a nuisance, or a totally liability at the wrong time and place. My Muzetto bag is made of thick beautiful leather, accented by a strong canvas-like material that keeps my precious belongings safe and dry. The leather is rich smelling, soft feeling, and of obvious high quality – yes, I am in love, I admit it. The shoulder strap is comfortable, allowing the Muzetto to fit nicely alongside me, slung across my chest and over my shoulder all day.
