Searching for Inspiration in the Arctic of My Mind

So recently, I've been finding it hard to fuel my writing.

I don't know whether it's because I have less time to myself or just less classes on creative writing and thus a drop in the creative temperature.



Bernadette is left out in the proverbial creative cold

 So, basically, I decided that I would start a blog to help me with my writer's block and hopefully amuse/help some of my other writerly friends who could be in similar situations. (I'm looking at you, NaNoWriMo-ers.)
You could say the idea came to me in a dream. You would more acurately say that the idea came to me whilst lying in bed thinking about how I had just spent the entire day at a museum staring at elephant skeletons and mummies.

The premise of this blog, then, is that every week (or so, I'm definitely not going to promise any consistancy here. I'm not exactly known for it) I'll take up a new writing task, whether that be a particular story/style or, probably more commonly, a writing exercise/experiment to try and coach my brain into the creative zone that it seems to be avoiding.

So there we go. As first posts go, it's not the most entertaining nor the longest but I just wanted to say hi and this is what I will be doing.

Yes, there are/will be chickens.

No, I'm not going to explain.
