As a writer, I am always looking for new ways to inspire me for topics to write about. Sometimes the books that I read, movies that I watch or even the music I listen to inspires me to write a poem. Awhile back, I added this cool new desktop little “flip-book” to my Amazon wish list and my boyfriend bought it for me for Christmas. Obviously, I was pretty happy to get this. 🙂 I love flipping through it to create different sayings.
You can flip through the cards to create different inspirations and quotes, etc… These can also help inspire me to write a poem or even a journal entry. It also can possibly help start your day on a positive note or even give you something to think about. After the whirlwind year we’ve had, even a small positive sentence can help us start our day on a good note.
Once I create a poem using this neat little flip book, I will post it here on my blog… The first one I am working on started with this quote…. “Never forget the magic invoked by everything you see.” I am looking forward to writing that poem.
If you’d like to see more about this cool inspiration booklet, you can check it out on Amazon. It is under $20 and well worth the price. My boyfriend and I both have PRIME which also allowed us to have free shipping. So if you are someone looking for inspiration – and maybe you have some Amazon gift cards you want to use that you got for Christmas (or perhaps even a birthday), you can check out this cool item.
“Within the depths of our mind, we are battling the duel of light and darkness…good and evil…love and hate…” Between Light and Darkness is Ariana’s most recent collection of poetry… Cherry’s frequent message she delivers throughout her work is, “The journey through the darkness, back into the light.”
Her hope is to let others know that they won’t be in that place of darkness for long – that they indeed can reach the light once again…She also wants her readers to know – that – it is okay if they find themselves in that bleak blackness…Sometimes we feel guilty for going to that dark place – but it is necessary to conquer the demons that battle our souls….
Other books that Cherry has written include "Only If" and "Twisted Paths Poetry." Her epic tale, “Only If,” won the “Reader’s Favorite Award” and a 5 star review…and her collection, “Twisted Paths Poetry,” received a 5 star review from Realistic Poetry International.
She has been writing ever since she was a child. Some of her inspirations include Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, Stephen King, Emily Dickinson, Christopher Pike and Shel Silverstein.
Ariana writes a variety of genres: inspirational, humorous and horror – although writing horror is one of her favorites…. She was 12 years old when she read Poe for the very first time – which inspired her epic poetry tale, “Only If.“
During other parts of her free time, she enjoys taking photos and creating art. Her “day-jobs” include working as a church administrative aide and reporting for a local newspaper.
