Finding Inspiration Around You

Finding Inspiration is a hard thing to come by sometimes.

To help inspire you, try some unconventional sources – your photos, a dictionary or some online image searches!

STEP 1: Pick up a dictionary or thesaurus (or head online).  Randomly choose a word, or a few words, and an image from your photos or off Google images.

What do they mean for you? Do they remind you of something, someone, a memory?

STEP 2: Start writing whatever comes into your head, and don’t think about what you’re trying to say – just write for 15 minutes.

Stop.

STEP 3: What’s on the page?  Read through it and underline anything that makes you think “hmmm, that’s interesting” or “that sounds different”.

I keep a list of words handy that just sound interesting, then rummage through them from time to time.

Below are some random inspiration searches t help get you started. Just click, scroll and select, and start writing!

• People Outdoors | why are they there? what are they doing? who are they?
• Powerful, Emotional Moments | what happened to get us here?
• Happy Moments | what happened to us here? what happens next?

• Old Barns | what if the barn could talk? who’s barn is it?
• Cars From the 60’s | what was life like then? was it your Dad or Grandfather’s?
• Motorcycles From the 70s | where has it been? what has it seen? what would it say?
• Junk Drawer | other people’s junk drawers – choose something
