The hosts discuss various writing challenges and topics, and their conversations and personal experience help me return to my work with a different focus.

Reading is also a fantastic way to unblock, whether it is books written by authors about writing, biographies of inspiring people, or stories similar to what you are trying to right. It only takes a glimmer of inspiration to set your writing down a new path and get you through the block. (less)

If you look forward to that morning cup of coffee, pair it with opening your notebook and beggining to write. If you love the croissants at a particular bakery, save them for writing days! Commit to your days, find the time when you have the greatest focus, but most of all, write.(less)

“The news print of the birch bark reads out a headline:
“Spring Has Come: Animals and Plants Come Hither and Play.”

A stack of sappy articles are cropping up each day:
“Snowdrops Drop In,” and “Starling’s Wings are Here to Stay.”

The finer print reads: “Alerting All Dormice, Fields Are Soft for Burrows,”
“Fiddleheads Forgo the Frost,”and “Little Creek, No Longer Narrow.”

With every new announcement Spring is pronounced arrived,
The Winter has retreated, and warm Summer’s close behind.

- Ester Straight, Published in the Moriah Gazette”

“If I were a garden
I’d be one with many weeds”
Florence Virginia Stephenson, Flour & Salt: A novel

“A garden heals the saddened heart
Its fruit brings light out of the dark

A passing bee, in zigging zee’s
Wakes up your eyes so you can see

Away from those who brought you hurt
Your soiled feet find love in dirt

So from your crown, down to your toes
Your heart heals as your garden grows.”

“All across the perfect crust of sparkling white snow were little fleas, hopping and jumping across ice crystals. I sank down on my knees into the snowbank and held my eyes at the surface of the snow. The fleas popped and hopped like carbonated bubbles across the surface of a coke.”
