Daily Inspiration



Prompt: There is a very strange egg in a basket on the neighbor's doorstep.

Quote: Our destinies lay not in the stars, but ourselves. - Unknown



There is a special throne in heaven for poets who labor in obscurity. The rest of us harbor an unexpressed hope for fame and glory.

You might be tempted to write for a market. You might be tempted to ride the crest of a trend.

That kind of writing is about as stable and fulfilling as day-trading.

Write what moves you. Write what interests you. Write what frightens you. Write what thrills you. Take a cue from the poets, bless their underfunded little hearts.
From: The Pocket Muse by Monica Wood.
