Sometimes when I go back to old blog posts, previously written articles, or through my journals I find something that triggers a new idea, or a new way of looking at an old idea. Reading almost anything can trigger writing and help me find my voice.
Photos and memories. Moments that slip by and then gently whisper back reminders of what was. I'm also a bit of an ink spewer. When ideas come, they are frequently in fragments so I will write out whatever comes and then let it flow along into the next thought. I return to these bits later and see if there is more that wants to be written.
I go in spurts where I have too much to say, and then long stretches where I feel like I am dragging my feet to write one sentence. I have no answers, but my friend Heidi wrote a post about this a while ago that I think is pretty good. :)
