Writing Inspiration

As a writer, new ideas seem to explode on my paper and when I am finished, I read it and think, "Wow!"

At other times, even the opening sentence is invisible; in mind and on my paper! So, what can a writer do when writer's block happens? Here's what I do for inspiration!

I surround myself with inspiring pictures and photos. Sometimes, the artwork is absolutely ugly or makes no sense what so ever to my friends and family. But to me, imagination jumps in leaps and bounds! Buy things YOU love and put them all around the place you write. Hang it on the walls and place it on your desk. And don't limit yourself to pictures only! Be creative. Maybe you found an antique lamp that you simply love. Put it on your desk! What about that basket collection, or feathers, or old make up bottles you collect? Hang them from the ceiling or put them on a shelf close by. You will feel inspired just by looking at them and being around them.

Now, pick up your pen, and start writing!
