Each day, writers are blessed with the opportunity to do what they love. They also leap over hurdles such as doubt, writer's block, and procrastination. The writer might think, I need inspiration, I don't know what I'm doing, or should I stick with this story?K.M. Weiland just released her cd, "Conquering Writer's Block and Summoning Inspiration." She breaks down topics into bite-sized, easy-to-swallow pieces. She understands our joys, fears and frustrations, and offers practical tips on how we can become better writers.
Some of her other topics are "Daydream or Die," "Why You Should be Writing Scared," and "Why no writer knows what he's doing."
You can purchase K.M.'s series here. And don't forget to stop by her blog, Word Play, any time. There's always useful pieces of information and encouragement floating around on her site.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much for reading and voting for my story, Julie!
ReplyDeleteThis definitely looks like something I need. Sometimes I feel completely blocked and I ask myself those same questions. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
Thanks for posting this!
It looks like Weiland has some great advice on her cd. I like the sound of some of her topics, she seems like she really gets to the heart of the matter.
ReplyDeleteYay for K.M. Weiland. I think her new CD has some great advice on it. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had "the block" yet, but it's great to know about these kind of resources. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look into this. Who doesn't need help at times?
ReplyDeleteOooh just read a piece on writer's block.. A new blog http://lmstull.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteSounds great, thank you for the link! And thanks for RTing my Monday post on twitter :)
ReplyDeleteI love KM Weiland. She's awesome. Love her blog too. Didn't know she had a CD. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteDaydream or die? Sounds intense.
ReplyDeleteI love the "No writer knows what they're doing." So much of the time, I feel like it's just me. That I'm the only one with hack feelings. So glad that's not true!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the perfect thing for me. Thank you for the link!
ReplyDeleteI love her blog. So helpful. I love yours ,too!

I've just spent four days writing a 600 word article. I had breaks: bookings, yard work, I read a new book. Everytime I was away from the computer my head was full of words. When I sat down to write, nothing! I'd rather kiss a zombie than go through that again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Julie.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great addition to any writer's collection. Thanks!
ReplyDelete"useful pieces of information and encouragement floating around"... I love that image - Thank you!

ReplyDeleteIt's comforting knowing that most writers head into a first draft or revisions with that scary - not sure what I'm doing feeling!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't often that I get writer's block but I'm bookmarking this for when I do.
ReplyDeleteI follow her blog. She has lots of great information to share.
ReplyDeleteMine's more stumbling over my self confidence than writer's block, but maybe that's one in the same thing? ;O)
ReplyDeleteSounds like some really helpful information. Thanks for sharing, Julie!
ReplyDeleteDaydream or die. I'll take daydream.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the same for many creati2ve pursuits. Many times you just need to get out of your own way.
ReplyDeleteDaydream or Die. Not much of an option, there! Heehee. Thanks for pointing the way to the CD!
ReplyDeleteGreat info Julie!! Thx for posting, going to KM's blog now!

Why no writer knows what he's doing."
