At a loss for what to write about, and how to write it?
Looking for something, anything, to stir your creativity?
Let the Mad Macedonian share his writing, and make some suggestions!
Speaking of suggestions...
BOOKS:
Looking for books to end your writer's block, stir your creativity, help you become a better writer, of fiction, and non-fiction, or to help you learn to write poems of all varieties?
Don't just go online, or to your chain bookstore, either.
Try Used Bookstores, Thrift Stores, Antique Stores, Library Stores, and their frequent special sales events!
Just because a book is older than God, and out of print, doesn't mean those long dead, and mostly Caucasian, creative voices, and teachers, don't still have something to say that might speak to you. :-D
PROMPTING YOURSELF TO WRITE ( PYTW ): The Series
I began posting my collection of exercises on this blog in 2007, and it is now over 50 in number.
