Color Psychology and Writing

I’ve never really delved deep into color psychology. Any other writers out there add color theories into their works? Any suggestions ? #color#jaynepress#amwriting#writingcommunity

The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. William Wordsworth Kindness will never go out of style. Consistent kindness is like water gentle but moves mountains. I’ve been reading about the Romantic period and Wordsworth was kind of a big deal during this period.Continue reading “Kindness”

Quenched

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. John F. Kennedy Wow, this is one of the most beautiful quotes I’ve shared all year. “Gradually changing opinions”— something about that line gives me butterflies. My opinions have evolved, but mostly because as aContinue reading “Quenched”

Coming At You All At Once

When it seems like everything is coming at you all at once, it probably is. Here’s a list of things to help you get through. We stay in the moment around the writing parts. Yes, shutting down looks mighty nice but where’s the story in that?! Keep your eyes toward the sky with a penContinue reading “Coming At You All At Once”

Enliven Their Hearts

You can’t win the hearts and minds of the masses unless you inspire them – you must lift their spirits and enliven their hearts. Jason Silva I’m not interested in the masses but boy do I enjoy seeing people’s spirits rise.

If you worried about falling off the bike, you’d never get on. Lance Armstrong If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll notice that we went on our first family bike ride. I loved it. So in honor of that, I had to share a bike quote. Don’t let fear keep you from amazing opportunities. WhereContinue reading “In Honor of Our First Family Bike Ride”

What Does this Quote Mean?

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath. F. Scott Fitzgerald Good writing? Holding your breath? How long? What are we writing about? This quote just creates more questions for me. When we read writing do we know it’s good when we feel like we’re holding our breath?

Loved Much

That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much. Robert Louis Stevenson Now, this is the bar. This is worth living up to. Of course, as I have said before, the word “love” is overused, so we have to really think about what it means to love deeply. I alwaysContinue reading “Loved Much”

Energy

The energy of the mind is the essence of life. Aristotle I find this quote to be a great inspiration. My energy has been low. To think, visualize, and exercise my mind has been a bit of a struggle these past couple of weeks. I’m sure my energy will return. It just makes writing aContinue reading “Energy”
