What’s Ink Sanity?

Ink Sanity came to me as I was revising my own writing, and navigating the waves between creative flow and frustration. I love reading, and a well written novel has always helped me drift into new and imaginary worlds. Trying to create those worlds can be quite challenging though, to say the least! I remember working on what seemed like the seventy-fifth version of a paper I had written, feeling like the original purpose of what I set out to achieve how somehow slipped away. I skipped dinner, ignored my text messages, and didn't look away from my laptop until hours and hours later. I honestly felt like it was a state of madness. From this, and several experiences like it, Ink Sanity was born.

I have been writing and teaching writing for several years, and still get this same sense of madness when I am going through my own writing process. I admit I sort of love it though. I have created resources in the hopes that it will make life easier for anyone who is going through the writing process, or helping others engage with the writing process. It doesn't need to lead to madness, unless you want it to.

I hope some of the resources I've created makes the lives of you and your students easier.
