A Writer's Inspirations

Pictures, quotes, prompts, books... anything and everything that inspires writing, reading and creativity... This blog is meant to help you break through that dreaded writers block or point you towards a good book to read. Use these prompts to create something all your own. My Penname is Shea. I'm 24. I'm an author, an avid read, and a photographer. I love travel, history, psychology, anthropology... The writing prompts (unless otherwise shown) have come directly from my cluttered mind. I do not claim any of the photos unless otherwise specified.

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

Things I didn’t know

[prismatic-bell]

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”
