Blog writing

Instead of writing about fiction today let's talk about how to write in your blog. In my mind make sure that you have correct grammar, there's nothing worse than reading something with terrible grammar.

Make your blog interesting to your tastes. What I mean by this is make me want to read about your time in China (making something up.) Make me interested by once and a while adding in pictures. (I'm sure that you guys wouldn't want to see pictures of my cats on a writing blog.)

Try and get an interesting background. Right now I have the fun colors that don't fit my personality but I didn't know what else to add but it stimulates the senses so why not keep it for the time being.

Thanks for reading

Sorry

Sorry about not writing in here for a while. Well I've sort of parted from my original project, I'm too busy here lately, also I've been wanting to do some short stories.
Enough with excuses though, I like to write and my goodness I'm going to write. Just not what I think.
What are somethings that you're struggling with? Are you struggling with keeping focused, burnt out of writing or are you not struggling at all.

See y'all

Adding Inspiration

   Yesterday we talked about where to find inspiration, today I want to talk about how to add a little inspiration into your writing world.

•   Add a painting

            This could be your muse when your in a rough spot. You look into a painting and suddenly an inspiring idea comes to mind.

• Listen to music

   If you've based your story on a song (or even if you didn't) listen to a song and just think of what the words are trying to say to you. Are they saying listen to your heart, go beat up your ex? Anything and any song will do as long as you don't get to distracted



• Create your own writing space

This can be very important when writing. Things happen at home and you need peace and quiet. If you're lucky and have a laptop then you can go outside and have peace and quiet outside while the commotion is going on inside. If you have woods around your house go to them and with a notebook and pen or laptop start writing your heart's content until you are satisfied. It doesn't have to be outside. You can have a spare closet, anything.

• Look to real life problems

Let's say your best friend is going out to a party and you dont' want to go. Add that in maybe your MC has some problems with drinking and she's trying to stop, make 'em resist the temptation of going to that party.

• Get organized

You won't believe how much you actually get done if you have organization added to your writing. If that's not you though then don't get to upset take baby steps.

   I think I have rambled on long enough. Have fun adding your inspiration.

Inspiration

   Inspiration comes from anywhere. It really does. Look around, do you see something that would inspire a character to travel into space? Here's popular places to look for inspiration:

• Dreams
• Song Lyrics
• Videos (Please don't Copyright)
• Grandpa's stories about when he was a boy
• ANYWHERE

   It like I said it can come from ANYWHERE Look around, see what you can see, find something that wants to be found. I got my inspiration from a garage sale and now I'm happy about what I'm trying to produce. (I do say trying because I'm still getting through a really slow part that just won't end) LOL

   Thanks for reading, go get inspired
