 In some cases when a website uses plugins with ShortCode the
 {{{shortcode_autop}}} method will return an empty string.

 Below is  sample content that gets an empty string returned when passed
 through {{{shortcode_autop}}}.

 <p>Writers are a diverse bunch. Quirky. Independent. Opinionated. In other
 words, hard to buy for. If you are trapped in a relationship with a
 writer,<em> get out</em>. If you can&#8217;t, attempt to tame your writer
 with the liberal application of gifts they will appreciate. Here I have
 gathered a few ideas that range from classic to new-fangled. Each is sure
 to melt almost any writer&#8217;s dark, cold heart.</p>
 <p>[amazon_link id="0547055323" target="_blank" ]<img src="http://ecx
 .images-amazon.com/images/I/417-fWjfIYL._SL160_.jpg" alt="The Best
 American Short Stories 2010 (The Best American Series (R))"
 />[/amazon_link] What writer doesn&#8217;t want to have their work end up
 in a &#8220;best&#8221; collection? Yes, even the ones who scoff at
 commercialism and popular opinion do. The Best American Short Stories
 series has been running for a good long time but the collections are kept
 fresh with yearly guest editors. My favorite feature of these books are
 the writer&#8217;s notes &#8212; insightful comments from the writers
 themselves about their stories. Though the notes<br />

 were more essential in the days before the Internet provided instantaneous
 transmission of a writer&#8217;s every 140-character-long thought, they
 still provide a worthwhile virtual mini-panel on the state of the art in
 short fiction. If your writer leans more toward genre fiction, check out
 other collections such as the venerable [amazon_link id="0312608977"
 target="_blank" ] Year&#8217;s Best Science Fiction[/amazon_link] .</p>
 <p>[amazon_link id="B002FQJT3Q" target="_blank" ]<img src="http://ecx
 .images-amazon.com/images/I/417XQ0XwQuL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Kindle 3G
 Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 6&quot; Display, Graphite, 3G
 Works Globally - Latest Generation" />[/amazon_link] Digital publishing is
 an unstoppable freight train charging towards us. Get on board or get
 squashed to jelly beneath the steel wheels of progress. The Kindle is
 probably the cheapest and most hassle-free way to hop on board and see
 what all the fuss is about. The screen is a pleasure to read in bright
 light, and the smaller size Kindle adds nothing to the weight or bulk of
 your messenger bag. There are a few quirks. You can&#8217;t read in bad
 light (just like a book) &#8212; the screen does not produce any light on
 it&#8217;s own. The smaller Kindle is really too small to effectively
 display PDFs. If your writer spends a majority of their time squinting at
 screenplay PDFs on their laptop, then go for the [amazon_link
 id="B002GYWHSQ" target="_blank" ]Kindle DX[/amazon_link] .</p>
 <p>[amazon_link id="B00138CX30" target="_blank" ]<img src="http://ecx
 .images-amazon.com/images/I/51lwiSZcWcL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Time Out Of
 Mind" />[/amazon_link] Music to write by. Normally, writing music should
 be instrumental only &#8212; can&#8217;t have too many words competing for
 brainspace. But there is something very atmospheric about the tracks on
 Bob Dylan&#8217;s [amazon_link id="B00138CX30" target="_blank" ] Time Out
 of Mind[/amazon_link] and the vocals are subdued if plaintive. The track
 &#8220;Not Dark Yet&#8221; was featured in the ultimate writer movie,
 [amazon_link id="B001ZS5CD6" target="_blank" ]Wonder Boys[/amazon_link] If
 your writer&#8217;s work is filled with angst and wounded characters, this
 is the record to spin. For a more cinematic, epic, sweeping soundtrack,
 try [amazon_link id="B003DUA56S" target="_blank" ]Clash of the
 Titans[/amazon_link] . Terrible movie, good generic action-movie
 score.</p>

 <p>[amazon_link id="8883701127" target="_blank" ]<img src="http://ecx
 .images-amazon.com/images/I/41nEt%2BZMYsL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Moleskine
 Ruled Notebook Large" />[/amazon_link] Unassuming and built to last
 &#8212; we may live in the digital age, but when paper is called for the
 Moleskine notebook provides hundreds of durably bound, creamy off-white
 pages just asking to be filled with Great Ideas. The spine can be bent
 clear back on itself without breaking the binding or loosening a single
 page. The covers are stiff but flexible cardboard and covered with water-
 resistant oilcloth. Not flashy, but definitely classy. There&#8217;s a
 reason these things are almost a writer&#8217;s cliche.</p>
 <p>[amazon_link id="B000GTR2F6" target="_blank" ]<img src="http://ecx
 .images-amazon.com/images/I/41GSZCYWKYL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Keurig B-70 B70
 Platinum Single-Cup Home Brewing System" />[/amazon_link] Most writers
 juggle multiple hats. Writing often has to wait to the very end of the
 day. That, or it has to come first thing in the morning, long before any
 reasonable person would think of getting out of bed. It&#8217;s no wonder
 many writers, especially those first starting out, require a constant
 energy boost. I keep the [amazon_link id="B000GTR2F6" target="_blank"
 ]Keurig Platinum [/amazon_link] on my desk. It&#8217;s an essential piece
 of equipment, right alongside my printer and external hard drive. Making a
 fresh cup of coffee takes about one minute. Thanks to the self-contained
 filter cups, there is no mess to clean up. At all. Also good for tea, iced
 coffee, and provides instant hot water for hot cocoa or soup mix.</p>
 <p>[amazon_link id="B001TIJWKQ" target="_blank" ]<img src="http://ecx
 .images-amazon.com/images/I/41nsx4792FL._SL160_.jpg" alt="Crumpler The
 Considerable Embarrassment Laptop Bag, Brown/Red" />[/amazon_link] And
 where is your writer supposed to put all the new awesome stuff you buy
 them? A briefcase is far too corporate and a backpack is far too
 Kindergarten. A writer has one foot in both these worlds and so does
 Crumpler. Witness the honestly named [amazon_link id="B001TIJWKQ"
 target="_blank" ]Considerable Embarrassment Laptop Bag[/amazon_link] .
 This bag holds a 15&#8243; laptop with room left over for books,
 magazines, moleskins and other writerly essentials. Or step up to the even
 roomier [amazon_link id="B001TN6S8K" target="_blank" ]Dreadful
 Embarassment[/amazon_link] , meant<br />

 for 17&#8243; laptops (always buy one size larger bag than you think you
 need). I&#8217;ve had a Crumpler camera bag for a couple of years and
 it&#8217;s proven to be tough, well-built and rock-solid.</p>
 <p>Of course, if you really love your writer you might consider gifting
 them with a Crumpler bag stuffed with <em>all</em> the items mentioned
 here. Your writer may be confused by this strange new emotion called
 <em>joy</em>, but it would only be a matter of time before the Great
 American Novel/Screenplay/Haiku is produced.</p>
