#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 6: What 5 things do you need to be a writer?

I keep coming back to an 80s interview with Eurythmics. When asked what the secret to songwriting was, Dave Stewart replied, "Say what you think and give it a backbeat."

So, that's two things. I guess, then, the five things would be:
- spare time
- motivation
- something to write on
- say what you think
- give it a backbeat

How you choose to interpret "give it a backbeat" as it applies to writing is up to you.
