Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. I’m Rita and I’ve been a member of the MRWG for over 5 years. I also manage the Instagram account of the MRWG. I post twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, plus the odd post that might pop out if there’s a new release or something special that’s happened in our group. Mondays are writing inspiration and Thursdays are quotes. I love finding quotes, inspirational, funny or dramatic, sharing them and reading the comments that follow. So today, I’ve decided to share with you my ten favourite quotes. You can find them on our Instagram account (@melbourneromancewritersguild).
On the “joy” of writing:
On inspiration:
On beginnings and endings:
As I mentioned before, on Mondays, I post a picture that I hope may inspire your writing. We’d love it if you join us for our Monday writing inspiration, no matter what genre you write, so we can connect together in the writing community. Tag us @melbourneromancewritersguild #writinginspirationMRWG. Tell us in pictures what gets your stories started and what keeps them going? Where does your inspiration comes from?
That’s all for me today. I hope you’ll come and say “Hi” over on Instagram and make sure you follow the MRWG @melbourneromancewritersguild We’d love to hear from you.
