RE-VISITING THE SHORT STORY!

Stories are so many things that we know and love.

The short story is a great way to gain inspiration to take your storytelling to the next level. 

It can be told in a few sentences or one hundred sentences, depending your time frame and the elements of your story. 

We can mold it, dress it up, dress it down, or sex it up. It can be a story that captures everything
you infuse in it.

Today; find your inspiration by creating a bold, sassy, and interesting short story. You never know where it will take you.

SURVIVING WRITERS BLOCK!

Writer's block is what most writers say when they are tired and they choose not to continue on with their current story. 

Most writers write, stop and then write weeks later when they think about it. 

We say, it's writer's being absolutely lazy instead of focusing on completing the story at that time.

The truth to surviving writers block is surviving yourself.  It comes down to having the enthusiam to finish what you've started. 

For some it's easier said than done, as most writers have a short attention span anyway. 

Sticking to your writing goals is key. That' why building a list before you start writing with your goals for the day is where you start.  Once you do that, you start writing.  Then take small breaks in between to gather your thoughts and let what you have written marinate in your mind.  Then, it's back to writing for the length of time you have promised yourself. 

It's all about taking the time to build up your writing stamia to get your story finished and having fun in the process.  If you can do that, then you can survive writers block.

Today, take the steps and survive writer's block; the stink of writing.
