This thread is to share anything that might inspire writers, be it visual or written. We've all had writer's block from time to time and to find our muse is just what it might take to get those creative juices flowing again. Anything goes…share your own experience with "writer's block", share websites or Facebook links, quotes from something you've read that inspired you, pictures that tell a story, or visual finds such as these are just a few examples. The first one is of the... actual stuffed animals that belonged to the real Christopher Robin of Winnie the Pooh:
I used the word 'gargantuan' today in the novel I've just started. I think that's the only time I'll use it, though.

Just what is "Writer's Block" is it a form of editing the unwritten page? I've never heard of "Painter's Block". Is there such a thing? I always heard, that you are to write every day, for an allotted time. Isn't the writer's primary job, to put words on paper, just as a painter's is to put paint on canvas? Maybe it's the block, on which all the writer's live?
Someone (I don't remember who it was), said "there is no such thing as a writers block…only an idea block". Someone else said, "don't say you want to write something…only say, I want to write because I have something to say" (something like that). And another, "start before you're ready". These would make good bookends
Hey, I used the word "enthralled" from that list in a post earlier today! Can I be a writer now? Just kidding; I never felt that urge. I did read somewhere that one should write down their dreams as soon as awakening, not only to remember the dream but to use it somehow as inspiration for writing. Can that be true?
Oh, @Lara Moss, I really loved seeing the original stuffed Winnie the Pooh animals and those gorgeous fountain pens!! *gasp*
Well you can draw a line to the words writer's block. Then start writing when the inspiration comes. Don't stop writing until The End and there you have it a book. A book that you can turn into digital e-books, print book or a free book when you publish it online. Good luck and don't give up a best seller is bursting inside of you!
