Ser um escritor significa ser antes de tudo um leitor - Nancy Hendrickson

Today's Writing Inspiration

By Nancy Hendrickson

Novelist John O'Hara wrote:

"Becoming the reader is the essence of becoming a writer."

Whether your book is fiction or non-fiction, memoir, how-to or poetry, try to see the finished product through the eyes of your reader. If you can't remove yourself far enough to be objective, read other works written in your genre. This will inspire you, give you new ideas, and get you back on your journey.  

You can't be a writer without being a reader.  So how about taking a few hours today and read? 

What I'm reading now:

• The Story Template
• Timbuctoo
• Kingdom
• Blind Faith
• The Fire in Fiction
• Sign Talker
• Rock Your Plot

How about you???

Welcome to Day #1 Today's Writing Inspiration A word is dead When it is said, Some say. I say it just begins to live that day. - Emily Dickinson I couldn't agree more. Writing your words and then speaking them give them a life that can live across the ages.  When thinking about your book, poem or story today, remember that you're writing more than "just words".  Your words are an "energy" that can flow out across time and space. What energy can you feel emanating from your work? Describe it. And because Emily inspires me too - I wrote this in her honor.  An Homage to Ms. Dickinson The bottlebrush is filled with bees Emily would be so pleased. Buzzing, darting stem to stern Nectar sweeter with each turn.
