What’s in Your Writer’s Shrine?

Lyn Hawks · April 22, 2017 · 2 Comments

Welcome to my writer’s shrine.

We all need hope, faith, and love as writers. We all need to believe in the power of our words, even if everything else in our life is telling us “nah.”

Talismans, symbols, icons, saints.

Gifts from friends who love us well.

From the ether and in the electricity of the unseen, the great Cloud of thoughts, something’s got to manifest.

I cling to these somethings.

    So what do you think was in Hemingway’s,
    Fitzgerald’s, Wolfe’s, shrines? How about Stephen King’s?

      I’m afraid to think of what lurks in King’s, but no doubt, it’s interesting! I’d say there has to be an empty bottle or two in these guys’ shrines. And some shred of a bullfighter’s cape in Hemingway’s.

So excited to offer this May course with @collegee So excited to offer this May course with @collegeessayguy and share my storytelling strategies! Practical Strategies for the Average Student Writer is all about unearthing the truth: that the “average” student writer has tons of storytelling gifts. When a student says, “Oh, I can’t write," I think, "You're about to find those cinematic, immersive stories I know you can tell"--exactly what admission officers want to see. CEG offers all kinds of wonderful pay-what-you-can and free resources. Link in bio. #collegeadmissions #collegeessay #coaching #collegecounseling #collegecounselor #teachingwriting #writingskills
