You thought the dragon was guarding gold. It’s guarding your word count.

Meet the official Starving Writer Studio tee—the one with our hungry little muse emblazoned on the chest, eyeing your outline like a snack.

This shirt is for anyone who’s traded riches for rough drafts, who considers a “treasure hoard” to be a pile of marked-up pages, and who understands that some dragons breathe fire and some breathe deadlines. Wear it to readings, coffee-fueled write-ins, or while rearranging your desk for “creative reasons” instead of finishing Chapter 12.

Whether you’re bribing your muse with caffeine, rationing adjectives to make rent, or explaining to civilians why “two more pages” might take six hours, this is your uniform.

Put it on.

Feed the dragon.

Keep writing.

Warning: Side effects may include hoarding notebooks, aggressive goal setting, and the sudden urge to whisper “one more scene” at 2 a.m.



For DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printed: This design is printed to a separate “film”, and then that “film” is permanently affixed to the garment. This type of printing gives the artwork a bold, punchy color that refuses to quit. The art pops, it lasts, and it’s durable enough to survive your third round of “final edits.” Downside? It’s thicker — like a vinyl sticker — so yes, it runs a little hotter. Think of it as the literary equivalent of a spicy scene: glorious, a bit intense, but occasionally sweaty. Still, if you want the design to outlive your keyboard, this is your jam.
