Memories

Most writers never comprehend the unlimited resources they have in their own lives. There are so many 'moments' that can be turned into marketable stories.

One of the strongest moments in my childhood came from the old grandfather clock in the dining room at my grandparent's farm. When I was a child, the sound of the clock signalled wonderful times. Christmas dinner, summer vacations, going to the farm to gather in the hay, being called to the farm in the middle of a cold winter night to help grandfather save the cattle... the grandfather clock marked all these moments in time.

I teach writers to look around them, and write what they see. You'll be amazed at the wonderful and inspirational items that are in your life.
