I am a storyteller as well as a writer. I am also a folksinger. I love to take old stories of Irish mythology and update these for a modern audience.
People have asked me to record these stories and so I intend to do so. I also intend to write about the deeper meaning contained within the story that goes way beyond intellectual understanding.
I set out an outline for the first story and realized that this was more like and outline for a book.

I meditate and pray each morning. Before I go to sleep at night I ask a question related to the book I am writing.
I keep a spiral A4 notebook and pen by my bed and I write following the morning period of silence. I ask that what be written through me be for the highest good of all on the planet.
Writing makes me feel inspired. I love what I write and share this love through the writing. Love is really what inspires the writing I do.

Love what you are writing about. Love who you are and why you are. Love that you are a unique gift expressing from the Source of the One Life. Feel connected to this infinite expression that you are never separate from.
Spend time each day in silence and listen to the voice within you. Make the inspiration from within the fullest expression you can give.
Practice a writing ritual EVERYDAY. Make this ritual unique to you in whatever way you need to do this. Be disciplined.

The best thing about being a writer is that you never quite know what is going to happen next. The practice of writing faces you with a paradox. You have to trust that before the empty page you will experience some kind of fulfillment.
This is best done if you are aligned with your soul purpose and that you are writing in service of the highest good of all.

Enter the silence within an get out of the way. This is assisted by a daily practice of meditation and prayer. The best writing happens when I am not doing it but allowing it to come through me.
The way I deal with writers block is to trust, then trust some more. It that doesn't work then I go for a walk and stay present to the moment.
