Contents of a Writer's Wastebasket

30 or so crumpled pieces of notebook paper, all thoroughly scribbled on

12 pages of printed writing, all marked up and edited (but clearly just not up to snuff)

4 chewed up, used up black ink pens

6 chewed up, used up red ink pens

5 Barnes and Nobles bags, with forgotten receipts inside

20 bubblegum wrappers and an empty bubblegum package to match

1 Empty microwave dinner tray

4 empty Cup of Noodles

1 Monster Energy can (that really ought to be in the recycle, but who has time for that)

3 To-do lists, all mostly crossed out

5 post-it notes, each hastily scrawled with "TO WRITE LATER:_____"

1 fully written in notebook from high school that must never see the light of day again
