I'm as apt to write the ending before I ever figure out how the story begins.<br /><br />And now I'm earworming with the Moana song, Shiny. lolKaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-20420605300811598572017-06-08T08:21:48.489-05:002017-06-08T08:21:48.489-05:00I don't know how pansters do it.

I don't know any writers who have ever run out of story ideas. I think it's in the DNA of writers to think of stories from ordinary happenings or just straight up out of their imaginations. The most difficult obstacle to writing, in my opinion, is writer's block which has nothing to do with the lack of ideas or laziness, but with fear and resistance. So I think you don't need to worry about losing your sparkle. LOL<br />I believe it's actually crows who are attracted to shiny things and like to stock pile them in hidden places. They are actually very intelligent birds. I saw a documentary about crows on PBS in which they demonstrated how crows can discern between people with good intentions and people who are wicked. Kinda interesting I thought.<br />I want to wish you all the best, Isabella. Keep shining!Sarah J. McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749991094677728042noreply@blogger.com
