In response to 10 Ways To Find Creative Inspiration When You're Stuck In A Rut

As a creative individual, you may sometimes find it hard to get that inspiration you crave, or maybe you struggle with too many ideas!

A top tip is to write everything down, no matter how silly it sounds.

As a writer, I've had great ideas come into my head at silly times in the morning - normally 2 or 3am. I tell myself I'll remember it and write it down the next morning... And I don't. That is one of my biggest regrets.

It is normally the same with poems too. I'll think of a poem idea, but then I'll write the poem in my mind. I think it's so good that I'll never forget it, but after a sleep - I do forget it. The idea is lost in my sleep, never to be seen again.

I definitely learnt the hard way. It sucks thinking of all the great ideas I've probably lost to sleep.

Phones are a godsend for poets and writers in today's age! I officially no longer take my little ideas I get for granted. Everything is written down, even if it's something I don't understand at first. It's jotted down in my notes.

As a poet, I tend to keep a journal too. This journal is full of poetry. Because, as good as it is to have technology, you can never really beat good pen and paper. It still is one of my favourite ways to craft a poem. It almost seems way more personal to an extent.

Being a creative mind is a blessing, as much as it is a curse. Late night writing, thinking of ideas in the dead of night? It's all part of being a creative person.

Generating fun ideas is always rewarding - but now I always make sure I write them down!

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
