Writing Wednesday
~
I need a kickstart. I feel like writing but the words won't come. I'm trying Writing Wednesday. I'm going to open one of my writing books and find a good idea to write about and post it on Wednesdays!
Bonni Goldberg's Room to Write has lots of good ideas like: write a familiar family story or write about my fantasy of what the next 20 years will be like or list 101 places I've been.
Eldonna Edwards Bouton's Journaling from the Heart has some ideas too: brainstorming ideas to bring my dreams into action, writing about pregnancy, unshould-ing myself, etc.
Eric Maisel's Deep Writing says to "write a love letter to an idea" and have an idea notebook.
~Cool~

It's a kick-start, f'sure.
E.B. White: "A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word to paper."
I'll counter with this one from Annie Dillard's A writing Life,
It's easy, after all,not to be a writer. Most people aren't writers, and very little harm comes to them.
