Time flies by so quickly! Fall is here, and winter is soon approaching. It’s cold here in Flagstaff. What’s better than curling up by the fireplace and reading a book on a cold, autumn day? For me, almost nothing!

How do you recover from a chilly day? Let me know in the comment. Don’t forget that the Eggtooth Editions Chapbook contest ends in a little over a month!

See you all next week!

With Halloween approaching, we need to tackle the most horrifying image an author can face…. The Blank Page! (Dun dun DUN)

Feared by many and encountered by all, the blank page of a notebook or word processing program can feel like a bottomless abyss. What tips and tricks do you use to start writing?
Here are some of mine:

• Brainstorming- go for a walk or listen to some music
• Mind mapping or outlining some ideas
• Setting a personal deadline
• Setting a timer for 30 minutes to start writing whatever comes to mind
• Getting inspiration from fellow writers
• Go out and write at a different location like a library or coffee shop

I hope these tips help. If you have any advice, please share them in the comments below! This is Cassie, the Eggtern, signing off!~
