Music is a source of creative inspiration for me. When I taught elementary music, I occasionally passed out drawing paper and crayons and had the students draw a scene suggested by music I played for them. Some authors make WIP-specific playlists that put them in the zone as they work on their projects. They even […] … Continue reading Reblog: How Music Can Help Your Writing by A Writer’s Path

Flow
No. 35/100 flash fiction stories. Inspired by the piece "For Chris" by Brock Hewitt. The scene is clear in my mind. It's almost the same as the one before my eyes, but the forest is greener, younger, like I was. The stream was swollen in those days and now I can barely hear it trickle on … Continue reading Flow
Ancient Songs Reawakened
The idea is that I found less and less to enjoy about worship music as time went on, and yet, there came a time when I realised I needed it desperately. The Father seeks those who worship in spirit and in truth, but I was never quite sure what that meant. All I knew was … Continue reading Ancient Songs Reawakened
Resolution Check!
How are you doing on your New Year's resolutions? I can see some of you avoiding eye contact. Some others are already moving on to the next blog post. Don't check out on me yet! When it comes to my resolutions, I'm not doing superbly, either. Did January hit anyone else like a truck, or … Continue reading Resolution Check!
Wordiness – Why It’s a Problem and How to Recognise It
I'm wordy, guilty as charged. Strangely enough, I'm not a big talker, but when I do talk, I often state my points a few times in different ways before shutting up. It's my perfectionist streak coming out - the first thing out of my mouth never feels good enough, so I have to try and … Continue reading Wordiness – Why It’s a Problem and How to Recognise It

The Frog
No. 34/100 flash fiction stories. See the prompt that inspired it! Rain fell. Waves surged through a small pond in a small wood in a small town. And yet, the green frog sat. Croak! he said, full of joy as a wave splashed on his face. He did not need to fret; he knew the ground was … Continue reading The Frog
Fasting Fiction
If you can't tell yet, I'm a fiction lover. I always have been and always will be. Half of my life revolves around discovering new worlds and diving right into my imagination. When I was younger, non-fiction was a dirty word. The biographies I was forced to read for school were, predictably, terrible, but I … Continue reading Fasting Fiction
Creatively Human
I love people (sometimes). They're so creative! One of the reasons why I adore the arts is that they truly showcase us as human beings. No two people will ever create the exact same work of art because it's not ruled by logic or facts - it's ruled by creativity. AI art may be able … Continue reading Creatively Human
