Lesson 1. Discussion. http://writetodone.com/31-ways-to-find-inspiration-for-your-writing/ Blog/writing journal: I try to blog every day with "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" [13+] and if possible various other blogging groups. It helps me stay focussed on writing. Music: I listen to music but not that often. But I find when I do, it inspires me a lot. I plan to listen more to music. Youtube for instance when I am working the computer. Free Writing: This is a wonderful tool to keep on writing no matter what. A lot is bound to be garbage but sometimes there is that one line I like. Lesson One – Noveling Exercise - Part A: Finding Inspiration. Note 1: Tuesday evening, 22:10 hrs. Sitting on a bench near the water. Sounds drifting above the open water. Kids shouting, talking, laughing. Passing on the other side of the water on their bikes. Water is soothing, it calms me. Wind through my hair. Beautiful sky with clouds above the water. Note 2: Wednesday 9:30 hrs. An ambulance with flashing lights (no siren) passing the waterfront of the canal. |

 I found this online writing course for free here at WdC by Katzendragonz |
Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side – 1972 Artist of an era. I loved his music and his voice. Raw material and I was a fan. February 28 |
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Under the Bridge – 2009 I secretly had a crush on the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Great voice, great body. February 27 |
Simply Red, Holding Back The Years - 2018 Music is not a big deal in my life. So, when a song is still somewhere in the back of my mind it means something. I love this song. It reminds me of my past when I was younger when Life was busy but pleasant. February 26 |
Opus, Live is Life, 2007 Just a little nothing in music, but it kept me humming all day when I heard it on the radio. Sometimes it’s just fun to sing along with a song like this. February 25 |
Joe Jackson, Is She Really Going Out With Him? In my younger years, I was a huge fan of Joe Jackson. I bought all his LPs and listen to all of his music. I saw him once in Amsterdam on stage. A great evening. I cherish the memory. February 24 |
Melissa Etheridge, Like The Way I Do – 1988 Etheridge was one of the great singer/songwriters I saw in real life when she was on tour in Europe. A great event, a big stage with a table and a chair and Melissa Etheridge with her guitar. A great evening with friends. February 23 |
Peter Hamill, The Love Song - 2011 I remember sitting on a rock in Greece near the sea listening tot his song. It was enchanting. So beautiful. And every time I hear this sound I am back in Greece. It’s been a while since I was on holiday somewhere on the Greek islands. I am planning to visit again in the near future. February 22 |
