Bloom!

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin

Writers Inspired is a community for writers to gather up courage and inspiration. When I started this blog back in August of ’08, it was intended to be a sounding board. But I realized the blog format does not lend well to “discussions.”

Instead I found that writers need a place to lick their wounds and find an encouraging, yet realistic perspective on the writing experience, and maybe a link to a cool contest or two.

Here, you will find inspiring quotes on the general theme of Not Giving Up. From Author Interviews and Book Giveaways to writing prompts, tips and links for writers of all ages!

And, if you’re a Young Writer looking for tips and contests and workshops click this tab: For Young Writers

If you’re a teacher looking for new ways to infuse creative writing into your class, click here For Teachers

Be sure to check these tabs for specific info and events!

Image a cozy coffee shop, laptops buzzing, keys tapping, muse swirling. Stay as long as you like, we never close. But tips (in the form of comments and suggestions) are appreciated.
