I find it very effective to mix everything I'm doing up. This can be as simple as standing, if I've been sitting for an extended period of time, or as extreme as heading out of the house to a crowded area to people watch.

A really effective activity for me is jumping into some sort of psychology study. I love TED for this function, but I listen to audiobooks, podcasts and have magazines close at hand. I'll often find new and interesting motives to give my characters. You should always have great resources at your fingertips.

I can say without a doubt that taking the time to surround yourself with things that inspire you before writer's block strikes is the best action you can take to combat it.

Happy Writing,
James Calderon

At the risk of sounding silly. The answer to this question is answering questions.

Conversation is the spice of life, and talking about something you love is even better. The more you ask the more you learn and writing allows me to ask my own questions, find my own answers, to be asked questions by others, and to share experiences.

I learn so much from interactions with others, regardless of it being about my writing, their writing, or a topic completely alternate. Curiosity is the tinder of creativity, mix in a sense of purpose, and there is very little reason to not love writing!(less)

Writing Rituals – The Power of Music

While many writers believe inspiration or the Muse strikes when it will, we can’t all just sit around waiting for inspiration. Sometimes we have to meet it halfway, or even 3/4 of the way…


When I sit down to write it takes time to get into the head space, sometimes a very long time!


I went to a friend and fellow author’s book reading and signing recently where he outlined his full process. It was qu
