Be Inspired: i Love Changing Hands Book Store

We all have those moments... sometimes they stretch on and on and you wonder if you will be creative again. Thats what happens when you are stuck. so... here's the plan..

step One: I am going to write with a writers crit group in downtown phoenix.... there are about 6 of us. Each of us are so different.. and ssshhhhh we read our stories out loud. I LOVE it. ... But just going down to phoenix has seemed to jump start my dusty mind... I love it there the dusty brick buildings ... perfect lovely southwestern colors... and the wandering souls of people on the streets....

step Two  : chocolate.....

step Three: Read Read Read


oh come to think of it they are all Changing Hands Bookstore. that makes me happy!

the book that changed my life 71 remarkable writers celebrate books

" ...what is it about this poem that thrilled me...? That sing song cadence for one thing, with its ominous message....more than the rhyme or meter was the reality: poetry could emerge out of the geography of your own experience, the life you lived or knew. -- James Atlas

" ...we carry all the writings inside us from the very first word. And then one day I woke up and wrote my first story. It wasn't much ( as I recall, it began "It is raining...") but it was a start. -- Kate Atkinson
