Bonnie Boots says "I personally create all the designs used on Write Side Out gear.

I've been blessed to work as both a writer and designer so I'm uniquely equipped to create designs that speak to people like you and me... sensitive, artistic, right-brain souls trying to make it in a left-brain world. Think of Write Side Out as survival gear for writers!"

 A NOTE ABOUT SIZES, STYLES & DESIGNS   

SIZES: For all T-shirts, sizes run a little small as they get larger. Consider ordering one size larger than you would normally wear. For example, order an Extra Large if you normally wear a Large.

DESIGNS: The designs are printed 10" x 10" (ten inches by ten inches square) in full color on high-quality shirts. The design area of the T-shirt may seem a little stiff when you receive it, but it will soften up after the first washing. For all other items, the designs are printed in relation to the item's size.

GET A BETTER VIEW: For faster loading, the images shown below are low resolution and contain less detail than the actual item. To see a big, detailed images  just CLICK ON THE MAGNIFYING GLASS next to each design name!

BONNIE RECOMMENDS: "I especially like the tote bags. They're sturdy canvas, wide and deep, big enough to hold notebooks, gym clothes and all the other stuff I'm always carting around."

THIS DESIGN-ANNE FRANK QUOTESCLICK HERE TO MAGNIFY

ANNE FRANK QUOTES(FRONT) One of the world's greatest books, The Diary of Anne Frank, was produced by a little girl who wondered if she really had any talent. Wear this image to remind yourself that every writer has their dreams...and their doubts.

The quote from The Diary Of Anne Frank reads "I know that I can write. a couple of my stories are good. My descriptions of the "Secret Annex" are humorous. There's a lot in my diary that speaks, but--whether I have real talent remains to be seen."

ANNE FRANK QUOTES (BACK)  On the back, a colorized photo of Anne Frank with this stirring quote from her diary: "Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!"

WET YOUR PANTS  (FRONT):  Our demurely-dressed writer stands before her writing table, quill pen in hand, and shows you the message she's just written on blue-lined notebook paper:  "Writing well is like wetting your pants in a black dress. It gives you a warm feeling but nobody notices."

go from drab to fab by wearing your Write Side Out!

Our faux 30's era action comic is "Ted Turrific-- Turrific Tales of a Freelance Writer." In this issue, Ted Turrific groans "Writers don't get no respect!" as he's booted from the offices of Publisher's Clearinghouse. An impatient manager yells "For the last time, we're not publishers. We're Publisher's Clearinghouse, you IDIOT!"

The back design shows the full cover, front and back, of Turrific Tales, although now it's been marked up with doodles, phone numbers and dates. Seems freelance writer's comics don't get no respect either!

On the back, a small stenciled "writer" label is crossed out, and "gonzo" messily scribbled in.

THIS DESIGN--OPEN A VEIN    CLICK HERE TO MAGNIFY THE DESIGN

We cannot indisputably attribute this quote to any one author, but it seems likely to have come from composer, lyricist and accomplished pianist Walter Smith who was born in 1885 and died in 1968. He wrote and copyrighted well over 200 songs. His career was at its peak in the late 1910's and 1920's but when the depression hit, the good times were over. Smith remained prolific writer, and though never impoverished, struggled financially for the rest of his life.

OPEN A VEIN (FRONT) Writing can be so bloody painful! As Walter Smith put it, "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open up a vein." His letter, complete with bloody thumbprint, sits above a magnificent antique typewriter dripping blood.

THIS DESIGN--WRESTLING ALLIGATORS      CLICK TO MAGNIFY THE DESIGN

WRESTLING ALLIGATORS (FRONT) Bonnie Boots says "This design is my personal favorite. The picture comes  from my collection of old Florida postcards--an actual photo from the 1940's or 50's of a pretty gal confidently riding a big ol' gator!  Here in Florida, where I live, gator wrestling is not only a tourist attraction, it's also a kayaking hazard! "

The quote used here, "Writing is the hardest way of earning a living, with the possible exception of wrestling alligators. " is attributed to Olin Miller. Despite his being one of the most-quoted writers on the internet, I have found no information about Olin Miller other than the possible life dates of 1918-2002.

THIS DESIGN-PAID PERHAPS    CLICK HERE TO MAGNIFY THE DESIGN

PAID PERHAPS: (FRONT) Beloved American humorist Robert Benchley was born in 1889 and died in 1945.

THIS DESIGN--THE ITCH OF LITERATURE      CLICK HERE TO MAGNIFY

THE ITCH OF LITERATURE: Samuel Lover(1797-1868), Irish novelist, artist, songwriter and musician, was born in Dublin. Lover began life as an artist and his work was exhibited at the Royal Academy. He attracted attention as an author with the publication of his work,  Legends and Stories of Ireland. Thereafter, he continued to write about the life, lore and legends of Ireland. His full quote, shortened on our design, is "When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen. But if you have not a pen, I suppose you must scratch any way you can."

He authored 25 books, including A Bell for Adano, Hiroshima, and The Wall, and was frequently published in the New Yorker and other magazines. Hersey was a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and set the standard for voicing moral concern in modern American literature. His quote speaks to the reality of what it takes to produce fine writing.
