The Growing Writer: Writing in the New Year (Inspirational Monday)
http://vonlcid.blogspot.com/2013/01/writing-in-new-year-inspirational-monday.html
A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Monday, January 7, 2013. Writing in the New Year (Inspirational Monday). The first Monday of every month I like to blog about something or someone that inspired me to write or continue writing. Today my inspiration is new beginnings. I have no intention on publishing them myself. Some of them may end up as submissions to places if and when I clean them up a bit. I did it more as an exercise. Best of luck in the new year!

The Growing Writer: Do Sweat the Small Stuff (Inspirational Monday)
http://vonlcid.blogspot.com/2013/02/do-sweat-small-stuff-inspirational.html
A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Monday, February 4, 2013. Do Sweat the Small Stuff (Inspirational Monday). In trying to improve my writing, I've been focusing on details. My mind naturally deals in platitudes and generalities. This was my pitfall as I wrote. So I've been retraining my mind to look for the small stuff. So I'm inspired by details and the fact that now that I'm looking for them I see so much more of the big picture. Posted by Von L Cid. I really like how you...

The Growing Writer: September 2012
http://vonlcid.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Monday, September 3, 2012. Failure is not an Option (Inspirational Monday). There are two moments I can recall where I hit a wall in life. I recall them specifically because I was able to push through and persevere. These were moments where my life could have taken two very different paths. Would I have to move back in with my parents? Where was my life headed?

The Growing Writer: Anniversaries -- Inspirational Mondays
http://vonlcid.blogspot.com/2013/04/anniversaries-inspirational-mondays.html
A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Monday, April 1, 2013. Anniversaries - Inspirational Mondays. My inspiration for this month comes from the one year anniversary of the AtoZ blogging challenge I started in 2012. Although I will not be taking part in it this year, I am forever in debt to the shear luck I had in finding it in 2012. Last year I challenged myself to write twenty-six 600-1000 word stories all in the month of April. Posted by Von L Cid. April 2, 2013 at 5:42 PM.

A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Monday, November 5, 2012. It's About Creation (Inspirational Monday). It's the first Monday of the month. Every first Monday I like to blog about something that inspires me to write. In this case I saw some pictures this week that triggered some deeper thoughts for me. Here is a sculpture created by. In 2009. It's called "My Dead Grandfather.". Via boladenieve.org.ar. A sad scene of nature defeating nature? These pictures remind me what IT.

The Growing Writer: December 2012
http://vonlcid.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Thursday, December 20, 2012. Something Missing In My Writing. I've had no formal training in creative writing. I can tell when I sit to create that I'm missing something. I feel the knowledge gap as I type. I lack certain tools and knowledge on how to use them. I've decided what I need is a back-to-school. I've order a highly recommended textbook. I'm knee deep in what started as a short story. The plot thickened and it became a novelet...

The Growing Writer: Finishing (Inspirational Wednesday?)
http://vonlcid.blogspot.com/2012/12/finishing-inspirational-wednesday.html
A blog to chronicle the trials and tribulations of a new writer. Wednesday, December 5, 2012. My inspiration for this month is FINISHING. I missed my own Inspirational Monday post. (Many thanks to BRIAN WILKERSON. For throwing me a reminder via twitter). I was in a zone and didn't want to break my concentration. Last year they received over 500 entries from in and out of state. If you have an unpublished 2500 word short story sitting around, Why not enter? I started my story about a week ago and have bee...
