Well, since the subject keeps coming up lately, I've decided to have my first ever LJ poll: the Office Supply Lust Poll!

Note that "Pre-published" means you write, but aren't yet published, not that you have a book or story in the publication process that's not on the shelves yet--that's "Pro" for purposes of this poll.

Poll #1223415 Office Supply Lust!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 23

Personally, I adore office supplies of all kinds and it goes back to way before I started writing seriously, when I fell in love with the staple-extractor... although I always wrote stories, so... hmmm... maybe not. Oh no! Chicken-or-Egg! Help!  (But Oh! those cute little staple-biting jaws!)

Problematically, I don't always *use* the office supplies I purchase on impulse... But pretty pens! Colored paper clips! Stationery cards! I need these things.
