I’m like 19 now, 20 in March.
I been writing off and on since fourth grade and never have found the self-discipline to become more consistent. It’s frustrating.
I’m going to try these.
Any other tips?

Hi April, I’d forgotten your creative exploration of the meaning of words. You’re right, this is often a good place to start – reminding ourselves of where a word comes from, its roots and connections. It’s often enough to open things up to a new point of view.

Glad you liked the card

The words are my favorite. Semantics and roots are a wealth of inspiration. Great prompts for that “what to write now”

BTW – Thank you so very much for my ecard

Hi EelKat, I’m glad that you found me too – it’s always good to meet new readers. BlogCatalog does seem to be a good place to discover new sites doesn’t it? Oh and thanks for the review that you wrote there too – much appreciated
