Words
We as writers love words. Of course we do; where would we be without them? Personally I have loved learning new words since I was a kid. Even to this day I still learn new ones every so often.

Not all titles are created equally, some will actually deter people from reading them. The titlesContinue reading “Picking a Title”
Inspiration
One could say that inspiration is every where you look. (I talked about inspiration briefly in my blog post called ‘Paper’. If interested in more, please go back to the Home page and you will find a link to that post from there.) So if inspiration is every where than why does ‘writers block’ exist?Continue reading “Inspiration”
