Writing Advice She Lives By
From Inspired Writer editor Kelly Eden
Kelly Eden lives on the edge of a beautiful rainforest in New Zealand and writes eloquent essays thinking about the possibility of her own death.
“But when my time is up, will I feel like I’ve done enough? It’s the question I ask myself often, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s even the right question.” — Kelly Eden
Those are the kind of thoughts Kelly often has from living with a chronic illness, but she also writes about tools you can add to your writing belt.
Just read one of these stories and you will think differently about writing:
- “I Spent $660 on a Personal Essay Course. Here’s What I Learnt.”
- “To Improve Your Stories, Work Out What You’re “Really” Saying.”
- “To Improve Your Personal Essays: Use Objects Not Just Ideas.”
Don’t read them unless you’re serious about improving as a writer.
But if your heart is to write better personal essays and you care about the quality of your writing, Kelly Eden is a fountain of writing wisdom.
