This is a bit of a solemn topic, and it's less direct inspiration and something a little less tangible. I've talked about using other writers as inspiration, and books we love, but as I've pushed to make clear, I believe that inspiration for writing doesn't have to come only from books. I believe a good … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Those Who Go Before

So I've been pretty quiet in the Internet sphere since last Tuesday or so. I haven't been writing. I haven't been editing. I have been working out, but not enough the counteract how much food I've been eating. And you know what? I'm glad of it. You see, I think there's something that many writers … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Rest
All right, I promise that one of these days I'll stop harping on and on about one author over and over again. But I wanted to write this up, and this seems like a good enough place. It almost takes over Thursday's post about writing as well, but I won't let it. But the simple … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Other Authors
So I talked last week about a little thing you can do in order to keep your mood up and get the writing flowing. Dancing is always good for that. It's low space-needing, and pretty much everyone has either an mp3 player or access to Youtube. (Or some other way of getting music. Not knocking … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Motion pt. 2
I've decided to move my old inspiration newsletter to a blog post instead, thus consolidating and making for a better archive. The standard format will change a bit, however, now that it's on the blog. Since Thursdays are usually set aside for writing help and tips of the trade, as it were, I'm not going … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesdays: Dance Break!
This is another of my somewhat lazy blog posts, but I think it's a good reflection to put up here, especially given my silence in the blogging world this week. Again, this has been copy and pasted from my weekly inspirational newsletter. Contact me directly if you are interested in receiving the emails. I’ve struggled … Continue reading How to Write When You Can’t, or: Defeating the Kobayashi Maru
Again, I'm cheating a little, but I liked this topic. I send out a newsletter every Wednesday (which anyone is welcome to receive, if they don't already!) which tries to lend some mid-week inspiration to my fellow writers. After struggling with the topic myself for sometime, I've tackled the concept of taking advice. What follows … Continue reading Don’t Tell Me What to Think
Wow, sorry about ALL THE BLOG POSTS today - I would have spread out the reviews, but I copied the wrong link and then sent it in and theeeen had to post it today. SIGH. Planning is not my forte. IN ANY EVENT. Each week, I send out an inspirational email to anyone who'd like … Continue reading Making It a Habit
So when I was cleaning my room recently, I found a piece of paper with two ideas (I believe for this blog) written down on it. I'm still not sure what I mean by the second one, so I figured I'd give myself a while to work on that and write about this first one … Continue reading Remembering the Inspiration
I received my first packet back from my graduate school mentor today, and was thrilled to see that I'd managed to obtain a perfect 10/10 on the work. After a semester of seemingly above average work and only coming away with average grades to show for it, this is a wonderful pick-me-up for my inspiration. … Continue reading The Best Words
