The Writer’s Resource Center has a very special guest blogger today. Lizzie is making her “passage through life dragging a diagnosis of bipolar along.” Her post, Writing from the Boat, is an powerful testament to her inner courage and strength. The boat metaphor comes from a scene in Jaws (one of my favorite movies), and Lizzie encourages all of us to accept the boat we’ve been given and ride the waves. Click here to read her post.
Let a Newbie Stimulate Your Creativity June 20, 2008
Sebastian Keller, guest blogger at the Writer’s Resource Center, has a stimulating post on using art to inspire one’s writing.

But I take his point that even the most mundane circumstances, the most ordinary people can be vessels for inspiration. So go and get inspired: Read Sebastian’s full post by clicking here.
