    Have ever got stuck on a plot, a word, a scene or a story so much that you can't move forward? We as writers, believe everyone has been through that "phase". To counteract that stage and to boost our writing community(and the writer in us), we all need a boost, a push to keep at it. Keeping in mind, every Sunday, NewlyWrittenBooks are going to publish a writer's empowerment quote from writers across the world, to spark the writing bug within you. Cover made by the amazingly gifted @druidoflore :)

    Envy green on branches swing Above my resting frame I lay on grass of early spring The greenest radiance aflame There I dream in a conscious stream And the clouds whirl but never stay I lay for hours in this echoing green As my eyes lull then flutter away Dreamers dine on only wine Except the sun's warm cure I breathe in fresh air till I'm fine And can leave with this memory of Edinburgh

    I have no clue why the cage bird sings. I will sing, jump, and dance once I am free. I will remember all I learned here in the cage. I honor the cage that kept me grounded. See my reflection, like a mirror this. Cage shines back at me. Why did that damn bird sing? There is no freedom where one cannot fly, One cannot fly when you're locked from the sky I know it's meaning in that damn cage.
