Olathe, KS, April 10, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Don Norris, who was born in a small town in central Kansas and worked as a mechanical engineer before retiring, has completed his new book, “Poetry; Inspiration, Punctuation, and Beating Writer’s Block”: a collection of poems that explore a variety of topics and subject matter, accompanied with short stories explaining the inspiration behind each entry.

Norris writes, “What do the following have in common?

“1. A seven-year-old searching his dad’s toolbox to find the strongest tool

“2. Bouncing an eight-month-old on the bed and wondering what he’s thinking as he laughs and screams at the same time

“3. Daydreaming about aliens and space travel

“4. Thinking about robots that mimic the movements of insects

“They are all inspirations for poetry. They can also be part of a simple process to reverse writer’s block and make it work for you instead of against you. Just follow a few simple steps and never be blocked again. If you’ve ever been at a loss for inspiration to write, if you’ve ever suffered from that dreaded thing called writer’s block, or if you just want an interesting read, this book is for you.”

Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Don Norris’s enthralling poems are inspired by the author’s desire to write nonsensical poetry and science fiction after years of precise and, in the author’s words “boring” technical writings as an engineer. By revealing how he came to write each poem, Norris’s writings will help any writer overcome writer’s block and allow them to find topics to write about through even the smallest of suggestions and inspirations during one’s day.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Poetry; Inspiration, Punctuation, and Beating Writer’s Block” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
