Many of us are in lockdown, which means our writing routines have changed a little. Some are used to exclusively writing at home, however, with motivation being low for some, we have gathered some tips on where to find inspiration during a lockdown.

WALKS

Nature is a wonderful thing! Going for a walk gets some endorphins flowing and gives you a change of scenery. Many successful authors have credited their ideas to nature.

READING

It’s no secret that many writers derive inspiration from reading. It is a bit of a pet hate of ours when we hear an author say they only read their own work and no others. Similar to cooking; if you only cook one dish, you’ll learn to cook it well, but there are so many styles and flavours you could indulge for inspiration, and you can then add some new ideas to your own dish to jazz it up. Reading is hugely important! If you’re a writer if you do not read, you may struggle.

TALKING

Facetime your friends or talk to who you live with about some ideas you’re working on. They might be able to help or give a comment, which could then spark a new idea for you!
