Welcome to the Blissful Creating Writing Room. Fresh pastries and coffee provided daily (passes virtual pumpkin muffins and caramel flavored coffee).
Do you love to write? Do you dream of being published in national glossies? Perhaps your goal is to write a New York Times Best-Seller or a beloved children's book. Maybe you just want to start a great blog or journal more consistently.
Whatever your writing dreams may be, we are going to help you take the first steps in making those dreams a reality.
Every week we will be posting various writing tips, prompts and how-to's to help get your pen flowing (or keys clicking). We will be covering everything from secrets to writing great blog posts to submitting book manuscripts. There's going to be a whole lot of creativity happening here and we want you to be a part of it. So get yourself a fresh, clean notebook and a pretty pen and join us!
Here's a list of some of my all-time favorite books on writing for those of you who want to get started right away. I will be referring to these books often, as they have been extremely helpful with improving my own writing. I highly encourage you to check them out next time you are at the library.
Elements of Style by Strunk & White

Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer by Roy Peter Clark
Practice, practice, practice writing. Writing is a craft that requires both talent and acquired skills. You learn by doing, by making mistakes and then seeing where you went wrong.
