Writer's block is something that has always plagued the writing profession. It can drive you mad, and sometimes gets worse and worse.

Every writer's nightmare―dreaded writer's block. If you haven't experienced it yet, you will. Life ebbs and flows, and that includes our writing.

The best way to deal and get writing again? Perhaps your body, mind, and soul need a break. Maybe take a short trip. I'm going to take day trips once a week that require only one tank of gas. First destination on the list? Marjorie Kinnan Rawling's old homestead in Cross Creek. Perhaps my inspiration will be hiding amongst old oaks where she wrote her Pulitzer prize-winning novel, "The Yearling."

Karen Diettz's insight:


Happy day everyone! A friend sent this post to me and it's a real upper. The article is a fabulous way to start the week. The cartoon alone is worth it!


But then the author, Eric Barker, goes on to show how storytelling is so critical in having wonderful relationships, a satisfying career, great kids, and awesome communications.


Enjoy the on-target quotes and Barker's points. Happy week all!

Some have been home runs and some have been strikeouts.

 

But there are seven in particular I really like and want to share with you....

"Technology can be used to support any subject and technology to support creative writing is one such area. Here are some of my favourite but often overlooked sites and tools as well as some staples for inspiration, creation and publication and they work just as well in primary as they do secondary and in further education."
