Where can I find inspiration for writing?
I suppose this may not be helpful but it is honest, I get my inspiration from other authors writings. I don’t steal their ideas so much as I am determined to write as well as them if not better. With each book I read I feel as though ‘I can do that’ or ‘This book was crap and I can write waaaaay better’ or ‘Oh My Gosh that was so good I wonder if I can do it’. So for me inspiration is in writing. I love to read the written word and I love to make phrases turn and twist at the end of my favorite pen on rose colored paper and make the mind of the reader say ‘I haven’t seen that before’ or ‘how poetic’ or ‘that is so fantastic’. The inspiration for me is creating. Creating anything and challenging myself. I will work on a dare (that’s how I finished my first manuscript). My best friend dared me to write a book from start to finish. I have short stories I’ve written because of my writing group. Four of us had lunch after a meeting and we challenged one another to switch genre’s for a story
