Write now!

This website is here to inspire you and me. This is where I share my favourite pieces of inspiration. It is also a centre for experimentation. Select a piece of inspiration to see what it inspired me to write.

30 minutes or 500 words.

When you visit, select an image, video or sound clip that inspires you. Take 30 minutes to write whatever pops into your head, then share up to 500 words of your creation in the comments.

Embrace the spelling mistakes, grammatical no-nos and illogical mental leaps. This is a safe place where the goal is simply to be inspired and share. You can do this anonymously if you’d like, but who doesn’t want the opportunity to network?

Weekly edits.

Check back at the end of every week to see an edited version of my favourite piece from the previous week. Be sure to leave your email address if you post so I can contact you if your inspired writing is the piece I choose.

Looking for an editor?

While I pursue the dream of sharing my own writing with the world, I also work to help other writers achieve their own dreams of publication.

I have an Honours B.A. from the University of Toronto where I studied creative writing, french and music. I also have a publishing certificate from Ryerson University where I focused on editing and digital publishing.

Whether you need to organize your first draft, polish a later draft or bring your final draft to life, I can help. Check out laurakanabe.com to learn more.
