Many of you, I see, are doing the A-Z blog challenge for April. Many others are diving into Camp NanoWrimo. That’s very inspirational. Keep up the hard work.

Your prompt today is to think about snakes. What is good about them? What is bad about them? How might they enter into your writing? Journal about what you know about snakes. Maybe draw one?  I picked snakes because a writing life can look very much like a serpentine when you try to put it into a matrix looking graph. It flows up and down and sometimes circles around — inspiration, creation, revision, renewing, confidence, doubt, rinse, repeat. Yes? So take that serpent and weave it into what your working on. Do it now.

If you can’t do it right this minute, plan to attend one of the writers cafes either tonight at Little Si Cafe beginning at 6 p.m. or tomorrow at Snoqualmie’s Black Dog at 9:30 a.m.

Now your moment of Writing Zen:

“As in nature, all is ebb and tide, all is wave motion, so it seems that in all branches of industry, alternating currents – electric wave motion – will have the sway.” ~Nikola Tesla
