Inspiration
Exercising Creativity (& Vocal Prompters)
All of our skills are like muscles – we have to keep working them in order to keep them. I recently found some of the work I wrote in high school, and I've got to tell you, it took me on a bit of a trip. The works were all just first, second, or third chapters. I didn't often get much farther than that, at least not documented. I used to be a Wattpad writer, and spent even my middle school years writing half-assed novels that I thought were brilliant. I remember taking notebooks with me everywhere, writing things down and creating all the time. Camping trips were my favorite places for inspiration. Now? Things are a bit different.
Suffering and Creativity
The connection between suffering and creativity in writing stirs a whirlpool of debate among literary aficionados. Is suffering genuinely a crucible for deepening a writer’s craft, lending raw, authentic emotional layers to their work? Or is it a glorified myth, entrenching the stereotype that true art must be born from deep personal anguish? This tug-of-war between viewing suffering as a muse that unlocks profound literary depths and criticizing it as a harmful trope that idealizes emotional pain reveals a complex, nuanced battleground in the literary world.

I understand, writing serves many purposes. Sometimes deadlines push me to produce a product with the focus on content instead of style or voice. Authors influence the readers; they impact society and with this responsibility comes the charge not only to communicate a message but to persuade, entertain, motivate, inspire, and feed the readers’ spirit. But often, my goal for writing to understand my thoughts and emotions.

I helped my granddaughter complete her homework last night. Watching her read aloud fascinated me. She sounded out letters, one at a time until they melded together, and she enthusiastically ended with a small shriek when she read the whole word. She was so excited that it sounded like she spoke in exclamations. I remember when I approached the written word with that intensity; it was magical.

Words have the power to transport us to new worlds, paint pictures and invoke emotions. They can also put us to sleep. When writing it is easy to fall in the trap of overusing weak words, however, there is an escape route. I love words which makes a thesaurus one of my favorite resources and writing tools. It provides strong, unique words to add power to a narrative.

I read an article that explained why fish are often seen with their mouths open; they are gasping for air. You probably thought like I did that they breathe through their gills. Yes, they do. However, sometimes they take air in through their mouths, and this also helps cleanse the gills. The article explained that if a tank is crowded or dirty there might be a shortage of oxygen causing fish to gasp.
Brenda MahlerPublished a day ago in WritersGather Feedback on Your Writing
Great writers understand the value of practicing just as basketball players understand the necessity to train. Repetition of skills and experimenting with new techniques improves all elements of the writing: tone, style, voice and mood. A coach does not watch silently as teams practice and then critique every aspect of the game. They stand on the sidelines and provide suggestions for improvement. They interrupt the process with constructive critiques. They share experience and knowledge knowing their expertise can help the players in the game.
