This month I have let my writing suffer, as a result of trying to market my blog.
I don’t think any of the blog-posts I made this month holds a candle to my best articles.
My January In Blogging
My Pinterest Profile
The past few weeks, I have spent some time getting a Pinterest profile up and running.
I have made a few boards with some of my interests, so if you like any of the stuff I have written about in the past, you’ll find more related content from other sources there.
Writing Inspiration #5 – Other Writers

Man Flu
I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather this week, so I felt that this video by David Mitchell was appropriate.
Writing Inspiration #4 – Video Essays

It can set you in the correct mood or mindset. Or maybe the lyrics of a song can set your mind on an idea.
Writing Inspiration #1 – Art
This week (and some of next) I want to make a short blog-series about the various things that inspire me when I write.
Since I’ve already gone into great detail about how the art of Theodor Kittelsen have inspired me, I figured this was a good place to start.
Only Ten Words
As promised, here are some cute animals!
Enjoy your weekend 😉
One Thousand Words
There is this one writing advice from the famous novelist Steven King which talks about how you should write a thousand words each day. Not even worry about quality, just go back to edit it later.
The Scully-Burger
“Mulder, mushrooms aren’t medication.
They taste good on hamburgers, but they don’t raise the dead.”
– Dana Scully
We Draft Rough, We Play Rough!
I just finished the rough draft for the last half of my script for the first issue of my upcoming comic-book! (The one I mentioned here.)
