Inspiration for Writers

by | Apr 17, 2019 | Creativity, Encouragement, Writing Life | 10 comments

So… I had prepared my blog post in advance of going to work on faculty at the Mount Hermon Christian Writers’ Conference. All I had to do was to–the moment I got home–fill in what I’d learned that week.

I did not realize that when I got home, I would eat dinner and fall asleep on the couch. I didn’t think about my blog post until this morning when I woke up and looked at the clock.

So I am tabling my “What I learned” post to next week and am instead giving you a video of a skit I did with my friend Dana Black at the faculty talent show. This is a skit my husband wrote, and despite my less-than-stellar acting, went over fairly well. Dana, as always, was a star.

I hope this inspires you. Thank you and see you all next week! 😉

    Thanks, everyone! We were nervous, and slightly unprepared (ahem, see conveniently placed laptop and cell phone for help to see our lines), but it turned out pretty fun. 🙂

    This is perfect! Inspiration is currently appearing to me in the form of my stuffed animals. Now for creativity to step in. I’ll definitely refer back to this when I get writer’s block.
