Sorry, my inspiration for you is two days late. I guess I was caught up in my own inpsiration.
So I guess that's what I want to pass on to you: Don't let inspiration pass you by.
People always ask me, "Where do you get your ideas?"
The truth is, they get me. They are everywhere, in everything I experience. And they are there for everyone who choses to see them.
Embrace your inspirations, and let them embrace you. It is a hard thing to be a writer, but one thing we have is unlimited access to creativity. Everything you experience is a potential component for a story. Write it down, save it for later. I experienced something that became the basis of my novel SAVED BY THE MUSIC years before I had a clue what it was. But it was there, documented in my computer when I realized I needed it.
A tree, a cat, a dumpster, a pothole....
A person you meet on line buying coffee at 7-11...
The scent of fresh grass....Your allergic reaction...
It is all inspiration if you just accept it.
Take the time to write things down.
The beauty is in your words.
