Writing Wednesday
Today’s Writing Wednesday writing prompt is all about stillness. In winter we tend to start the journey inwards and try to find a calmness and a stillness within us. A lot of people set up mantras, new active routines as well as motivation. We search for the inner stillness that will help us cope with things in our lives. Sit down quietly, describe what that feels like. Now explain what happens next. Does your mind wander? Or do you find a stillness? What happens in this stillness. Write about it.

Characters in your Life
Characters have a funny way of getting deep into your heart and setting up shop, it’s very much like when you meet new people and they become more than an acquaintance for you. They become friends and eventually you regard your friends as the family you’ve chosen. You love your friends and if you have a healthy relationship with your friends, you’ll never fight, you’ll have arguments but they’ll ever tell you what is wrong with you in the heat of the moment and damage your relationship. They’ll raise you up and praise you and most importantly they’ll be there when you need them. Characters from your writings are very…

Comparisons: A Writer’s Worst Enemy
Everyone knows all about comparisons, sometimes we get brought up with comments such as, ‘Oh that’s not what your brother does, you want to be like him don’t you?’ Our parent’s didn’t know what we now know as adults. They thought that a little bit of healthy competition was good, and it is…but when it morphs into comparison, something has gone drastically wrong. As a writer it can be paralysing. It’s a damn good worst enemy. I am lucky enough to get a chance to read some brilliant work, before anyone else. My bestie and I like to acknowledge her as my critic partner, Peta, has given me a copy…

Writing Wednesday
I love Wednesdays! The middle of the week is here but more so Writing Wednesday has snuck up on us again. I’ve been busy writing little bits and pieces of my writing practice coaching course and jotting down great little nuggets of inspiration for my creativity workshop that’s happening later on in the year. Yay! Cleaning can be both therapeutic and annoying (ha!) what processes do you go through when cleaning and what sort of cleaning do you do? (hint: mentally, emotionally, physically).

Reading Wrap Up
I’ve decided to do a round up of links that I read, because sometimes I get a little carried away and excited because, seriously, there’s SO much goodness out there. And it’s really hard to get around to reading a lot of it. Lately I’ve been reading random Elephant Journal pieces that pop up in my feed. But I feel like you guys need to know what’s happening and what I’m reading. This is also going to include novels, because I always have a novel around with me. I’m still reading my way through Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter novels and I’m currently up to Dream Chaser which is both good…

Writing Wednesday
Writing Wednesday is here again! Yay. The weather has taken a right turn towards the chill of winter. I was okay with the first week of the chill now I’m thoroughly over it, but I think a lot of it is because I have to wear boots instead of pretty slip on shoes. Just ugh. Anyway, today’s writing prompt is about winter. So let’s see what you come up with. Layers, chill and rain are all apart of winter, how do you deal with them? What do you do with them? Use details about the climate and make it reflect through your piece. Don’t forget to send entries to…

Do What You Want
I’m standing at my kitchen counter writing to this as I listen to music and I realised just how freeing it is to do what you want. Do you hear that? To. Do. What. I. Want. I spent the day browsing the net before I settled on listening to random YouTube music from 7 or so years ago. Music was great then, music now is good too, but it was great back then. It brings me back to my days fresh out of high school where I had no idea what I wanted to do. I always thought that I could see myself in a high paying job doing something…
