If you’re like me, getting back into the swing of things can be difficult to do. I have to force myself to sit down and start typing, hoping that something (anything!) will come through my fingertips! Alas, some days are better than others.

I’ve decided to practice a writing exercise to get myself out of writer’s block mode and into writing a successful story! I invite you to join me in this challenge if you are fighting writer’s block as well.

Find three to five things in your house or office and describe them in detail. Personify them. Give them names. Create an environment for them. Imagine a scenario that involves these items. Whatever you do, you have to write for at least an hour about these items. Once you get your creative juices flowing, you may just find that story hiding inside of you!

Share your ideas with me! I would love to read your stories!

To your success,
Katie

I am so sorry I haven’t written in awhile! The holidays were quite busy for me and my family this year, and so my blog fell by the wayside. But enough excuses! It’s a new year and time to get back into the swing of things. I am excited what this year holds – both for my business and for my family. My husband and I are expecting our first child in March, and we are so excited!

In addition, I am considering adding a newsletter to my list of things to do. I can’t promise anything at this point, but I am brainstorming and developing new ideas every day. I am also trying to get back into my creative writing. Sometimes it seems the easiest route is to just accept the writing jobs that I know will bring in money and letting my own stories and poems fall by the wayside. Not this year!

I plan to enter several writing contests this year and (hopefully) to complete at least one of my stories! I’ll keep you abreast of my progress, and I hope you’ll let me know how you are coming on your new year’s resolutions!

It’s already the second week in January, so we better get started!

To your success,
Katie
