Writing Techniques and inspiration

[wasellajam]

I suppose I was thinking more for the initial inspiration. It's possibly more for songs or poems that tell a story and rely on good details as part of the narrative.

For me, I feel more comfortable writing about things from a British perspective so my stuff will have british places, animals, people, culture.

But i do wish I could write more about other places and cultures, hence my list has deserts and coyotes and tornadoes. It's forcing me to write about things outside my comfort. I find it difficult

Ha, I've been writing about what I can see from my couch, thinking of maybe moving a poem to two towns over. The few keepers I've written have come from an immediancy close to me. But that's me, my imagination doesn't stretch far enough to write a musical about a Geordie shipyard town, even if I can relate to it.

I think whatever shakes it up is a good idea, that's why there are so many gems in NaPM. Shake it up.
