15 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Write Today
2. Bring a journal or one of those classic yellow pads of paper to a coffee shop. Caffeinate yourself. Don't bring your phone. 3. Bribe yourself with a reward. If you write 500 words, then you can watch an episode of your favourite show or buy that cupcake that's staring at you from the glass case in the coffee shop. 4. Start by making a list of your writing goals. What are you working on right now? When do you want to finish it? How much do you need to accomplish today, this week, or this month? 5.
Quotes By Writers on Writing Fiction
We writers either think we know all there is to writing, and that we do it brilliantly, or we're terribly insecure and always looking for advice from other great writers on how to write well. There, that's my personal opening quote on writing. I'm somewhere in the middle. It depends on what I'm writing whether I am confident or insecure. What I know for sure, is that for me, writing can be exhilarating, agonizing, emotional, poignant, or an audacious spilling of my guts. It's a sweet ride regardless.
Flash Fiction: Woman in the black trench coat
Officer Lanny Dunbar spotted the woman pulling her load down the sidewalk. There was not anything suspicious about her, but a little voice in his head told him to stop and inquire. On this street business professionals and the homeless passed wordlessly by. Very few others had business here. City hall and the police station were located at one end of the street, and a mile away, the other end passed the Salvation Army and dead-ended at the train station.
Hilda Conkling, Child Poet: Why Did She Stop Writing?
Second to consider is her relationship with her mother. Hilda's parents separated when Hilda was four years old. There is no way of knowing how traumatic this split may have been on Hilda, who was clearly a very sensitive child and probably felt such a loss keenly. Her mother reported that initially Hilda would recite her poems to an imaginary friend named Mary Cobweb, and her mother would overhear and remark on how clever Hilda was.
Big Noble - A Will Starr Short Story
Ma never liked me hanging around with Big Noble but I done it anyway and I’m right proud I did. Noble never had him no last name that he could recall, so he was just Big Noble. He was a huge man and black as the gates of hell with the meanest looking face I ever seen, so I shied clear of him and his old shack down on the north bank of the Wapsie river. Its proper name was the Wapsipinicon, but we never called it that. To us it was just the Wapsie.
How to Murder Your Character - And Get Away With It!
l remember the heft of the book as I flung it against the wall. Can hear the thunk as it hit sheetrock and the slither of pages as it slid down. I'd read several romance novels by the author, all about the same Egyptian dynasty. I came to this one...and near the end, the main character is brutally murdered, her body cut into small pieces and scattered across the desert, her name effaced from every carving and script that bore it. First off, this was a romance novel.
Selling Short Stories and Novellas As eBooks
I’m a little too young to remember pulp fiction magazines and believe me, that is one of the few times this old man can say that he’s “too young.” World War 2 and the increased demand for paper, as well as a changing literature landscape, meant the death of pulp fiction. From 1949 to 1959 all of the major publishers of pulp fiction closed their doors and their products rapidly became collector’s items. Pulp fiction was popular during the last half of the 19th Century and first half of the 20th.
Make That a Double: A Short Story by cam
One of the bits of information passed on to Spider by his unknown employer was that the man in the recliner had a house keeper who would show up at random times. Spider believed the late hour would insure he and the balding man would be alone. That’s when the front door opened and a woman’s voice called down the hallway. “Hello, darling, how are you tonight?” “I’m fine, my love,” said Darling who was now on his feet.
Poem: Come! - Dedicated to John Hansen (Jodah)
When you have a clock in your hand, Come even if it is lost in the sand; Just come when you find time Or no time at all, A diary on the table awaits in the hall. At the sharp edge of the blade – Like the eyelids blink without fear And the river flows with sanguine tears. Come like the force comes in hands, A Heart has bled, yet pounds and stands. Come like the blood rages through veins, Blind, weary eyes still yearn for the Light to rain.
Best Ways to Respond to Silent Treatment in Relationships
Choosing not to participate in something that's unhealthy is usually a smart choice. A stonewaller is making this healthy decision at inappropriate times. He also keeps his choice going to an unusual degree. Here's an analogy that might demonstrate how absurd the silent can be: Harry Hardhead wants to live a healthy life, and decides that caffeine shouldn't be part of his diet.
