Consider an author whose style inspires your own. What appeals to you most about their writing? Have you adopted any of their techniques for your own use?

Having trouble pinpointing that perfect word? Take a break. A new word is added to the dictionary every two hours. The word of your dreams could appear, having not been established during your last writing stint.
