1,000 Quotes For Writers: …inspiration for your creative writing

Being a writer is one of the most rewarding, and most difficult, professions a person can pursue. Writers can work for years without any reward other than intrinsic satisfaction. Negative criticism and non-supportive family/friends intensify the frustration a writer feels so that, at times, it’s almost impossible to keep that inner flame of creativity burning…. This is where 1,000 Quotes For Writers comes in. Compiled specifically to inspire your writing and fire your imagination — whether you write short stories, poetry, scripts, novels, nonfiction, blogs, or post daily on social media. The 298-page volume is divided into 60+ categories with more than a dozen quotes in each to match your mood, spur you to break through a writing block, discover new ideas for plot/setting/characters/resolution…or just sit down and read random pages, reacquainting yourself with lines from a fabulous array of authors… Rumi, Tolstoy, Dumas, Chekhov, Jong, Shaw, Wilder, O’Neill, Cocteau, Ionesco, Frost, Schiller, the Brontes, Babel, Gogol, Dostoyevsky, Milosz, Atwood, Angelou, Plath…and dozens of others. The quotes are categorized under: solitude, imagination, what is past, soldiers, death, war, the Victorians, the British, the Americans, the French, the Russians, the Germans, life & hope, truths, women, happiness, winter, summer, friends, always reading…, the poets, the dramatists, the novelists, dark, light…. and many, many more. Seamus Heaney said, “If you have the words, there’s always a chance that you’ll find the way.” 1,000 Quotes For Writers will help you find those words and light your way. Available in paperback and Kindle editions, this volume is a fantastic addition to any writer’s library and makes a wonderful gift for other writers you know.

Life Creative: Inspiration for Today’s Renaissance Mom

A celebration of motherhood, creativity, and the faith that binds them

In our Pinterest age of handcrafted children’s parties, artistic Instagram photos, tutorials for renovating old furniture into new treasures, and blogs filled with poetry, prose, and other creative expression, it is clear that a brand-new generation of creative women is rising up. It is a renaissance born not in Italian cathedrals or Harlem jazz clubs but in kitchens and nurseries and living rooms around the world. But when Christian women become mothers, they often feel expected to lay down their creative pursuits in order to properly parent.

Wendy Speake and Kelli Stuart know that struggle. While they acknowledge that some seasons of mothering require setting artistic pursuits aside, they also argue that these seasons don’t have to last until empty nest time. Instead, mothers with creative gifts are called to actively use them in order to bless their families, their communities, and everyone they encounter.

Inspiring and encouraging, Life Creative celebrates the ways mothers can live their art in the midst of their mothering. They tell the stories of women such as author and speaker Angie Smith, recording artist Ellie Holcomb, and jewelry designer Lisa Leonard who do just that. By following God’s leading to embrace His gifts, renaissance moms can model the joy of obedience for their families.
