The
It's snowing today. I love, love, love newly fallen snow. It reminds me that life is full of fresh, new possibilities and opportunities. It truly is one of my favorite little pleasures in life. It also reminds me of a blank piece of paper - full of possibilities but very cold if you lack the "write" accessories. Adapting to the changing seasons of the literary world is imperative to cultivating an environment that inspires your imagination and enriches your life. Here a few of my "write" accessories that work from winter, summer, spring and fall:
1. Writers read. Writers read everything from the Sunday Post to the Scarlet Letter. Being well-read lends itself to being well-written. It also keeps you on top of today's fast forward climate.
2. Writers write what they know. Sure, we all like to dabble in the unknown, but most writers pen topics that pique their passion. Their enthusiasm carries through to the reader.
3. Writers support. While the literary industry is extremely competitive and a little (okay, a lot) cut-throat, good writers provide support to each other through both challenges and triumphs.
4. Writers write every day. From a letter to Aunt Alice, a short paragraph in a journal to a chapter in a new novel, writers keep the stream of creativity flowing by writing everyday.
And, with that thought, I've done my bit of writing for the day. I'm off to build a snowman.
Stay warm~
