Thanks for this! These are really good tips! It’s true that we don’t always have to wait for inspiration, and can instead search for it by being aware of what moves us. I’ve noticed that my stories are inspired by a random moment or situation that leaves a question in my mind. But I have to hear myself to even process these ideas, and what you said about distraction definitely resonates. I’m starting the year off as silently as I can, so I can go in earnest search of my words.
I mostly enjoy the reading recommendations. Thank you!
I'm curious though, how do you get to read so much on the net? I see that Vox is a good place.😁
Also, as a reply to this comment or as another newsletter, would you be kind to recommend some of the finest fiction books you've read that a new 'reading-writer' should pick up?
Thank you again. Every newsletter is one more cup of delight to the daily collection 😁
I've recently begun to explore the themes I'm drawn to in my writing. I find that they are quite different depending on if they are fiction or nonfiction.
