My writing corner. Any writers out there? What does your writing room look like? I've written 3 novels in this corner. I have a window that overlooks a woodsy street. Lots of birds flying to inspire me. When I write my short story blog, I watch the sky for inspiration. John Muir says "The sky is delicious." I agree. Writers, tell me who inspires your writing space. #writers #authors #writing #inspirations #readers #reading
Finished my goal to read 6 biographies this year. I also participated in Banned Books week with "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings". Which I thought was primarily about her rape. In reality it took up maybe 20-30 pages.

pickDid I already tell you that I'm somewhat of a junkie when it comes to books about writing? This is a good one - especially for memoirists. Occasionally Nestor's self-deprecating humor was like a fly buzzing around in the room....but it found its way out the window, eventually. #booksaboutwriting #inspirations #thecraftofwriting #memoirs #writingprocess #writing #writinganddrinking
pickSo this isn't my favorite book on the craft of writing but at under 160 pages it packs enough of a punch to have helped me move through a writing slump - and for that I have to give it a little ?. If you want to add a bit of yoga, meditation, self-compassion, and what Herring calls "Deep Inquiry Practices" to your writing toolkit, try this. #booksaboutwriting #writingprocess #thecraftofwriting #writing #inspirations
pickI appreciated this book so much, I had to write a blog post titled "What Do Louise DeSalvo and Aesop Have in Common?"❣️folkloreandliteracy.com #booksaboutwriting #writingprocess #thecraftofwriting #inspirations #writing #folklore&literacy
"But we don't move forward by perpetually starting over. Sometimes, we just have to wait. We have to feel the itch and resist the urge to scratch." (Page xvi). After being in a writing slump, I chose this book to accompany me thru NaNoWriMo 2016. #nanowrimo #onbeingstuck #laraineherring #writing #booksaboutwriting #inspirations
