Bring your own sword to write with.

"The pen is mightier than the sword" is a metonymic adage coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839 for his play Richelieu; Or the Conspiracy. The play was about Cardinal Richelieu, The Cardinal's line in Act II, scene II, was more fully:
"True, This! —
Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!"

Idiom:
The pen is mightier than the sword;
Something that you say which means thinking and writing have more influence on people and events than the use of force or violence.
