FIRE AND ICE BY Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
*I love this piece. Take it let it inspire you to write something that's "fire."*

SITTING IN SILENCE IS TRUE INSPIRATION
We all meditate at some point throughout the day.
We do it by sitting for 30 minutes in silence, or taking a second to get our thoughts together or even while we are on a bathroom break. However we do it, we do it.
For my writers out there who want some inspiration for your next story, sitting in silence can bring you a great story or bring new elements to your existing story.
It's about truly being in tune with your breathing and all the elements that is around you. Your breath is like music coming out of you. Every time you think of something in your mind, your breath is the beat to that sound track being played.
Keeping that in mind; it really allows you to bring forth all of your senses to the forefront so that you can box it up and see it for what it truly is.
With that ladies and gentlemen, you have true inspiration that you can shape in to whatever you like, however you like.
Take that true inspiration and incorporate it into your next story or begin a new story off of the beat to your natural soundtrack.

Unwind with your pen
The pen to us writers is our comfort. It helps us to unload a lot of bs and hot mess that we've gone through in our daily lives or in life period.
The love that writer's should have with their pen should be monogamous and complete. We should love it like it's the love of our lives.
For the writer's out there that have fallen out of love with their pen; please take moment and pick it up and get reacquainted, so that you can get back into your writing with love and true creativity.

NEW YEAR-TIME TO GET CRACKIN!
Happy New Year!!
We are still here holding our pen and we hope you are to.
2012 was a great year and we did get a lot accomplished, but now this is a brand new year.
For the new year we hope that all writers find their creative energy so they can strive to complete their writing goals.
In striving for those writing goals, we hope that all of you take the time to really hone in on your writing craft. It's important that you the "writer" get "crackin" this year so that you can achieve your writing goals. Being a writer is much more than holding a pen, it's love, soul, and a love for the written word. If you have those things, you have a good start.
Along with having all of those things, we hope that you are always keeping your head in the books, and studying different types of writing and literature. It's what's going to turn you into the writer that you ultimately want to be and will help you achieve your writing goals in 2013.
So with that, it's 2013 so it's time to pick up your pen and get "CRACKIN!"

GET INSPIRED BY EMOTION!
Finding the inspiration for any writer can be challenging. Most of the time many resort to the so-called writers block because they aren't pushing their creativity beyond the limit.
Inspiration can come from anywhere, especially emotion.
Emotion is one of those feelings that's the basis of our sadness, happiness, anger, and all the flutters that we get in our stomachs.
In writing, when you use emotion, to gain inspiration your story can and will come alive in a big way!
Think about happiness for example. Truly dip into your bag of emotions for a happy moment. Then take that moment and gain inspiration for your story. Do the same for other emotions so that you can get the full effect of the inspiration.
When you do this, you not only continue on with your story with momentum, but your story has the potential to come alive from your own pure inspiration.
Today; think about emotion and get inspired in your work.

THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL!
Creativity
Magic
Poetry
Reading
Writing
Drafting
Editing
Learning
These are all words that are on most writer's wall when they begin the first stages of creativity.
Being creative takes gut, effort, drive, and a love for the written word.
Words speak volume when they are thought out, excersised, and put to work by a creative force. They can bring to life a story that a reader, even living in the most remote of places, can understand, love, find passion in, and want more of.
When you look at the your words on your writing wall, what do they say? What do say about your creative scale and the drive behind it? What do you want them to say in your creative literary works?
All in all; it comes down to you the writer and the words that are on your wall. Those words can take on a literary trip of lifetime. Spawning a great story for many readers to enjoy and pass on to the next.
Take the time to look at your words on your writing wall.

Poetically Speaking: *THE MANIAC IN THE PINHOLE*
(D.H.L.C@ http://www.literarydiva09.blogspot.com/)
THOUGHT PROVOKING LIT!
*The Maniac In The Pinhole*
Why the hell is this always happening! Every time I try to get my ass out there and get shit done; I fall flat on my face!
I’m done! I’m just done!
Pushing, opening, and doing shit the right way is me. Yes, the maniac; in my god damn pinhole is me. Shit just aint right cause my pinhole ain’t getting any bigger!
I feel it. I can taste it, but can’t see it.
Life, dreams, and my whole existence seems to walk in front of my face, waving a beauty queen see ya!
I stand still only to be encased in my pinhole with the walls closing in on me more an more. The worse is here as time has moved but my pinhole hasn’t.
Trapped in the confines of evil and screams; telling me “I ain’t nothing!”
I can’t breathe as silence rears it’s ugliness only to murder me and keep me locked down only to self destruct in the crevices of my pinhole.
Maniac going psychotic, going irate, and about to burst into a million little pieces!
The feelings of why, who, what , and how have me marked for life as my pinhole closes and I fight to stay alive.
I bleed in silence, and it trickles down slowly to a nonchalant beat of “I got you bitch” and my layers peel away slowly, only to have flesh exposed to rot.
As I see the scene; it’s un-believable as I have seen this movie before! The Hollywood block buster of the maniac in the pinhole.

TAKE INSPIRATION FROM LOVE!
Love can be funny, jilting, happy, hateful, and romantic.
Most of us when in love find ourselves peeling back the layers of ourselves and the person we are with to understand this ever changing emotion. It's one of the hardest thing some of us will ever experience in our lives.
As you begin to create a story, taking inspiration from love will always do the trick. You can spin it any way you want; taking most parts from your own experiences as well as other individual's experiences.
Diving into this emotion requires heighten senses and long hard thought. Think about what it was like for you to be in love as well as for your partner. Go deep and look inside even if your still dealing with some issues. It not only can be great therapy but it can also take your story to the next level. As you do this, your story will have the twist and turns and strong characters that you want. Your story will come alive in every scene, character and most of all in every word you write.
The benefits of taking inspiration from love is that, you have access to alot of material, such as, your own experiences and the experiences of others, as well as generic themes throughout time.
All in all, inspiration is all around us in more ways than one. Love just happens to be that inspiration (good or bad) that most of us has experienced.
Take your que from Love and write a story that all of us can't wait to read.
Happy Writing!
