1. Do you have a hard
time turning off that internal editor? You know, the one that keeps you
re-writing a scene in your first draft? Erin Howard shares her experience at
the Seriously
Write Blog.
2. Jean Kisacky, at Writer
Unboxed, shares what she learned while fighting insomnia. It helped her
improve her writing and added layers to her story. "What Keeps Your
Characters Up at Night," might help some of us get deeper into our
characters' heads.
3. Ashton Kutcher is
known not only for his acting, but also for his stand against human trafficking
and pro-life. Recently, he posted a video by a man with Downs Syndrome. Catch
this excellent post on Breaking
Christian News.
4. Audrey Frank, at The
Write Conversation, talks about, "Writing From The Cave." Those
places of suffering can produce great creativity. I was particularly taken with
her line, "Tell God first, tell people second."
5. Do you love
Freebies? Hip2Save
has a list of 27 Birthday Freebies. I've joined quite a few of them and
received a bunch of coupons around my birthday. Have fun!
Writers: Have you
used your places of suffering to enhance your writing? How did you accomplish
this?
Readers: Many blogs,
books, and articles focus on the tough times in our lives - those cave months
or years. When my husband passed away, I was drawn to a blog for widows. It
helped me navigate this new life without him. Have you found comfort in reading
the experience of others? Please share.
