A guide to helping you with your writing skills. These are a few of my tips and tricks to writing.

Welcome young Travellers. To a book of much inspiration. As the saying goes this book is designed to get 'your creative juices' flowing. Among my travels for information for my other books. I have found many ideas, which would be great details to books, or even better, inspirations to books themselves. The book will be filled with prompts, both ideas and dialogue. Along with many other whimsical ideas you may want to add to your story. For Example did you know Petrichor is actually the word for the smell after rainfall, who knew? You hope to add that into a story now, don't you! Each of my chapters of Inspiration are named after a particular Juice. Because you are here to get your Writers Juice flowing. So check out the menu of chapters.
