Good Morning Writers!

by Ally

889550_time_to_wake_up.jpgIt’s a new day here at Writers Unbound and I  am quite happy to be sharing it with you. Let’s get this community started!

 To  begin with, I’d like to add to the list —-> of blogs. Do you have a suggestion? Please add it via COMMENTS below. Where do you go for your dose of writing chat?

I’ve also been thinking extensively about the concept of inspiration. For example, I’ve had a novel sitting dead for years on my hard drive, because I couldn’t figure out where it wanted to go. This past summer I was fortunate enough to get a jolt of inspiration while visiting family in the mountains of Mexico.

Yesterday, I ran across Rachel M.’s new site aimed at getting writers and graphic artists together. She invites phtographers or designers to submit visual media, hoping it provides some creative inspiration for poets. Great idea!

Big_Sky_MExico.jpgI liked Rachel’s idea so much that I dug up a couple of photos from Mexico that have always inspired me. It’s hard to find this “untouched beauty” in everyday life, but I know us writers need it. We may not be visual people, per se, but our verbal descriptions often reside in a viual place. Don’t you think?

Where do you get your inspiration?
