10 Things To Do When You're Not Feeling As Confident or Creative As A Writer...

As Promised.
  1. Join A Writer's Workshop-These are particularly good when I feel stuck or stagnated. Nothing like a good workshop to get the fire lit under your butt!
  2. Take A Course-A writer's course or otherwise expand your knowledge base you just might surprise yourself with the results.
  3. Explore other creative outlets-Photography, painting, drawing, scrap booking, gardening...
  4. Go To An Arts Museum-Explore different time periods, take a pad for notes and see where the eye can take you.
  5. Read A Book-Escape to unknown worlds through literature and be inspired by a character or place, a quote or emotion that you experience.
  6. Read Up On Your Craft-Expand your current mindset or knowledge base. Find out different ways to take your writing to the next level.
  7. Look Through Old Pictures-There's nothing like memories to get the creative juices flowing.
  8. People Watch-Ride a train, plane, take a ride in your car and observe the life happening all around you.
  9. Revise Or Complete Unfinished Projects-A moment away can often bring a fresh perspective to a project.
  10. Involve Others In Your Creative Process-Invite your girlfriends over for conversation, see what's going on in their lives. Let them know that you are looking for inspiration. Great stuff can come out of these sessions!

BONUS: Start a Blog!!!

The most important thing to remember is that life is happening all around us. Enrich the world with your perspective. We are waiting to hear from you...

Keep Up the Good Work,
