It still feels cold outside as spring tugs at winter's toes. Notice the daffodils and crocuses pushing up from the earth. Fruit trees shed blossoms in whites and pinks. Seeking sun above the ice or snow, green shoots abound. Herons, ducks and geese gather nesting materials while song birds polish their spring songs.
It's time to nurture your spring writing process. Do you need a new notebook or special folder on your computer where you can play with ideas and write about writing?
Here are questions to "spring" you into action:
Are you aware of a seasonal or daily rhythm in your writing? Begin to track on a calendar your times of peak performance in writing.
Do you journal? How often?
How do you define play? Does it show up in your writing?
Which sense dominates in your writing? Add others.
What distracts you from writing? How do you deal with it?
Do you have a writing ritual? What will you “get into the write mood”?
Describe how reading affects your writing.
A return to basic questions may spark additional ideas. Spring into your writing.
