Writing Friday

I’ve mentioned in a few other posts that I’m struggling a bit right now with writing. Besides blogging, grading and writing over and over again “I can’t think of anything to write”, that is.

I’m a firm believer in putting in the time because “inspiration” doesn’t always happen, but I will admit it is draining to get to the desk day after day and do SOMETHING.

To try and help others along I thought I’d share this neat article about colors and how we perceive them  and/or name them.

I also enjoyed this other article about the movie Say Anything.  I adore that movie and I really enjoyed reading how the author looked to the actual story of the movie, picking out what made it so unique.

This week I did a lot of catching up including working on submission packets, updating my online class, walking and reading. I’m currently starting some research on the Korean poetry form Sijo, but my big focus next week will be on the demo/workshop/teaching gig I’ll be presenting as part of the Summer Writing Project that I’m attending. I’m going to ask the participants to write their own Ars Poetica.

Will you?

Hope everyone had a great week and that your weekend will be splendiforous :)
