Ostentatious - definition: actions, manners, qualities intended to attract attention : showy I found the most ostentatious author possession for today's post. Ian Fleming's gold typewriter. Yes it's true - take a look at http://oztypewriter.blogspot.ca/2012/02/500th-post-golden-typewriter.html Now that's reveling in your author acclaim. What would a modern equivalent be - a gold laptop?                 Other interesting items found - http://flavorwire.com/293994/a-peek-inside-the-notebooks-of-famous-authors-artists-and-visionaries/ This is my favorite - Frida Kahlo’s diary - beautiful. I do possess a few notebooks and journals but hate to 'spoil' them by writing in them - stupid I know but they are so beautiful, it seems a shame to 'deface' them.                   What is your most prized possession?  My personal letter from Stephen King is mine. It has pride of place on my writing inspiration wall.
