Writing

Today on Twitter someone posted this link about 31 ways to find inspiration for your writing. Normally I don't click on too many of the links people tweet but this is a topic which interests me.

There are many great ideas to help writers find topics to write about. I've always had a secret passion for writing. (Although the only thing I write are mainly emails). For many years now I have hoped to try and work on my skills and actually write something interesting. I tend to have a horrible case of writer's block. I see a blank piece of paper and no ideas come to me.

Lately I have been journal writing. I used to write in a journal as a teenager about all the important things that were happening in my life back then; my latest crush, which outfit to wear, who was being the b-word, etc.. Looking back at those journals it's amazing how simple life was.

Journal writing now is about my adult life and troubles. Although I've taken some advice and started writing about my goals, dreams, etc. This came on as a suggestion from someone. I have to admit that even though I've only been doing it a few days now it seems to really help me. Of course it doesn't make my problems go away but it helps me empty my head (and heart) and gives me some inner piece.

I'm going to try some of these ideas from the link I posted above and see what comes of it. Would love to hear if anyone else has success by trying any one of the 31 inspiring ideas.
