What is your writing set up? Coffee? Notebook? What are the tools of the trade for you? Let me tell you my #top10Things to my writing style! #amwriting #romance #tools #steampunk 10. Location! Location! Location! There is nothing better than a serene location to allow the creative juices to flow! #view #peaceful 9. Notebook! I always keep a notebook near at hand. You never know when you need to scribble down notes that may or may not make it into the machine of our times! #OldSchool #Notebook #amwriting 8. Laptop I mean, we are in the 21st century. Who doesn't keep a running record of their work. Plus, I can update cool inspiration, quotes, or random thoughts into twitter! #inspiration #laptop #amwriting 7. Company- there is nothing better than having good company or a writing buddy that you can bounce ideas off of or just chit chat while you take a short break. #friends #inspiration #amwriting 6. Coffee! I mean, who can really survive without a few hundred jolts of caffeine! Whether it is a sugary mocha something or other or a straight black cup of Joe- coffee is a necessary part of the process. #process #amwriting 5. Image Bank! I find that having an image bank to fall back on in case I get stuck or need a quick break during a long stretch is helpful. This is also dangerous, because you have to be careful not to fall down the rabbit hole of #Pinterest #amwriting 4. Plot Cards! I keep a deck of plot cards, courtesy of @meltodd81, that can be used to throw in random plot twists or ideas. This is great for giving the writing (me) a challenge and ideas to play with. You never know where this will take you! #amwriting #PlotTwist 3. Comfort. Depending on where you are at when you are writing, it might depend on what you are wearing or where you are seated. I like to curl up in a comfortable seat in my PJs or sweats and type away! #comfort #amwriting 2. Time. When I sit down to write with all the craziness that life throws at us a daily basis... it's nice to carve out a chunk of time dedicated to writing. This is not always possible with spouse, kids, life, etc. BUT it is an important part of my planning. #amwriting 1. My number one requirement when I #amwriting is Music! I usually fall back on soothing background music, such as "Hobbit-The Misty Mountains Cold" This on a 3 hour repeat is awesome for zoning into writing and staying focused. #music #MistyMountain #Hobbit I would love to hear about your writing habits and routines. Do they look like mine? Is there something you do that you would suggest? Please like and post below!

I am an inspired soul who loves to write and take photographs. I read and write constantly and have been inspired by many people throughout my life. I grew up reading everything I could get my hands on but my favorites were always R.L. Stine and L.J. Smith (prior to the Vampire Diaries). I have composed many things through the past several years and would like to use this blog as a way to share some of them with you (both new and old writings). I would love feedback both positive and negative to help me improve my writing. Thank you for following this blog. Archives
