Master Your Writing!

Writing, at a glance, may seem like a piece of cake to most. I mean, how hard can it really be? All a writer has to do is jot down the countless ideas that run wild in his/her mind. Piece of cake? Well, I say, peace may be far from it. Try looking out an open window as you inhale the smog-filled air, you see dozens of cars rushing to and from or hear your neighbor argue with a stranger over a parking spot. In this moment you realize the ideas that were stirring inside of you has since faded, and this may be another episode of the inevitable writer's block. No need to panic… venturing out on a writing adventure just might be the motivation you've been searching for to bring your story to life!
