Just A Little...Inspiration

 Inspiration...

It comes in many forms. The problem for me is not "not enough inspiration," but too much.

I keep thinking of wonderful writing projects. I'm sure my wife is sick of hearing about each new book or story I want to write. I'll tell her the gist of what I'm thinking about and she nods and usually gives me great feedback on what I told her.

Then, many times, I'll even start the story.

Then, many times, it goes nowhere.

Since it's Halloween time, my thoughts on new projects automatically go to the spooky, the scary, the fun. I want to write a series of stories, short stories that focus on one person...sort of a journal of experiences that happen to this one person. This type of project comes with some unique challenges. I've got some time off at the end of the month. It's a good time to jump right in.

Yes, inspiration can be found almost anywhere. Many times, that's my problem.

There's A New Author Website Out There...Bennion Ellsworth

 Scrolling through Facebook today I came upon a post from a writer acquaintance. He's created a new website to highlight him and his works.

Good for him!

I met Bennion a few years ago at a school book fair. We got to talking and it turns out I know both his parents. Another interesting fact...both his parents speak Danish, and neither are Danes. There was a time, decades ago, when the three of us roamed around the Danish countryside, name tags on our clothes and pamphlets in our pockets.

Now, decades later, their son is writing books and making the world a better place. If you want to check out the website, click: HERE. 

Being a writer can be tough. Even if you come up with the most brilliant idea, betting the story written, then edited, then critiqued, then published can seem an overwhelming exercise. So, if you want to check out a new author website, check out Bennion's blog. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
