What we see depends mainly on what we look for. ~John Lubbock
Where Does Writing Hide?
- In the billowy clouds rolling acros the sky
- In the early morning giggles of a slumber party
- In the smell of lilacs
- In the aroma of homemade chicken soup
- In 4th of July fireworks
- In smiles and tears
- In the death of a family member
- In a child’s smile
- In the memory of a first kiss
- In an unexpected visitor
- In a friend’s supportive phone call
- In a whirlagig
- In the smell of fresh coffee
- In a new coat of paint
- In a cyclone fence surrounding Fido
- In a surprise party
- In a bridal shower
- In a baby’s first steps
- In a favorite song
- In an old prom gown
- In a photo album
- In the water droplets on a leaf
- In the mellow tones of an alto saxophone
- In the delicate notes of the windchimes
Ideas for writing are everywhere. You just have to look at the world with a writer’s eye.

So true – inspiration for our writing is all around us – we need to be observant.

I actually thought of “Valentine for Ernest Mann” as well! This list also reminds me of Ralph Fletcher’s work…it’s so fun to think about all of the possibilities as writers!

Actually in plain sight, right? Just waiting for us to open our eyes.

Quite a list, thank you. Have you read, “Valentine for Ernest Mann” in which he says that poems hide? It’s lovely.
I’d say you could make your list and then ask which one is the “pick me, pick me!” memory wanting to be written.
