If you’re a writer–and if you’re reading this, I’d say most of you are–then you know that just about anything can be an inspiration!
It could be nature, someone you know, a comment, a pet peeve, a conversation, a dream, an idea, an ending you didn’t like, or something you find fascinating, just to name a few.
If you’re a poet, a rhythm might inspire you, or maybe a rhyme scheme, a funny sound, a moral of some sort, or a prompt generously provided by someone else.
You never know when inspiration will strike, and you had better be ready when it does!
Of course, there’s the dreaded writer’s block, but that’s rarely been a problem for me.
I’m no different from you, but I remember my foundation and why I write at all: To seek the Light in life and to pass on what I’ve found!

Written for Denise’s prompt at
#SixSentenceStories: Foundation.
I like the motivation to seek the Light and pass it on.
Well said!
What an inspirational list in 6 – I often get stuck. Will print and pin on my board … đ
Totally agree about the abundance of ideas and inspiration.
I like the idea that ‘writers block’ is nothing more than our inner critic (‘the voice that whispers we’re not good enough’) telling us, ‘thats a stupid idea’, ‘you want to write about what??!!
lol
fun Six
Writer’s block is a meanie. Paying it forward is most important. I got that from this. Wonderful six.
Kudos to you for putting it in such a simple and forthright manner.
Well said!
Thank you for the encouragement! I agree we are surrounded by ideas to inspire and jump start our imagination. The writing of those story ideas? Hm…sometimes a challenge đ
Oh, how the writer’s block can take ahold of me! I think there is plenty of inspiration out there that I sometimes just fail to see.
Good six. I love the prompt word and theme challenges because they can make you go to places as a writer you might have ordinarily missed.
