I want to be a Paperback Writer.
How I find inspiration to write. Storytelling is an art that has been around since the dawn of time. It takes on different forms for different people. Most of us here love books or blogging, physical words on a page, but let's also consider there's music and film and photography and art and conversations with [...]
My throat had become dry of attempts at conversation. Even now I couldn't think of any new topic or question to try. I had to accept that Ayumi just wouldn't talk to me. Of course I found it difficult, after all we'd only known each other a couple of weeks, and usually people are at [...]
A list - can probably be applied to other streams of creativity too A DEFINITON OF WRITER'S BLOCK: FOR ME IT'S AN INTENSE HEADACHE AND A STOMACH FULL OF SHAKING FRUSTRATION. PUSHING FOR A THOUGHT TO APPEAR WHEN THERE'S NOTHING. LIKE PUTTING ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF YOUR ENERGY INTO STANDING STILL. IT'S A FEELING WE [...]
Some stream of consciousness written a couple of weeks ago... Never before have I felt so chaotic. I've become a person I thought unreachable: someone who loses her sense of time because she's having too much fun, doesn't second guess what she's doing and doesn't care for where she's going too much. If I were [...]
Hey! Long time, no book related blog post. Pretty shabby for a self-proclaimed bibliomaniac. But I can't wait to show you this book: 'Paperbacks from Hell' by Grady Hendrix. Originally I purchased this as a book to sit on the side and be dipped into every so often. While it's a beautiful book my expectation [...]
Initially I feel that I should point out that life and writing aren't actually two separate entities for me. They are both woven quite neatly together. Writing is my life. Perhaps a better title for this post would be 'how I integrate writing and life'. Writing is a discipline and does best when it becomes [...]
Should you have come to this post with a lack thereof, here's what I would like you to do. Go to your mirror for ten minutes and study yourself. This is the honest way I build my body confidence. To amplify I often listen to music too. Ask me as I'm writing this and I [...]
Breathless without moving, my thoughts outrun me time and time again. I often run away into my mind, and lead a completely different life. A lot of my memories actually revolve around the stories I created at the time rather than a realistic recollection. I know that for a long time I was deeply insecure. [...]
At first I thought February was cruising along nicely, but the last two weeks seem to have been swept from under me. Everything's getting a bit busier. A bit more rushed. Usual for the first few months of the year, while everyone looks forward to summer. Although, doesn't it feel as though summer has already [...]
There's hardly any pictures and no words are coming to mind. January, everyone says you are passing too slowly, but I feel like you only dropped by. When the year started I was determined to make this year better than last. I'm pleased to say that's going very well, although I don't have much to [...]
