INSPIRED BY...

What are you inspired by? Who are you inspired by? What tickles your insides for you to write something down?

These are questions we ask ourselves as writers all the time, as there's always something to get inspired by.

Inspiration comes from many different things. Things that we see, taste, hear, touch, lick, smell etc...

It's in moments when our senses are working we are inspired and I mean very inspired. It's something we all have, we just have to tap into it.

Today; get inspired by something you love, like, want, need, or that something that tickles the depths of your soul. 

You never know where it may take you in your story.

UGLY INSPIRATION!

Inspiration can come from any experience, relationship, friendship, and many other sources.

As we continue to live our lives we more often experience "ugly" situations, that take hold and paralyze us in more ways than we care to admit. Looking at those situations can sometime give us a story, a poem, or an essay that's meaningful.

Life is beautiful as we know it to be, and with life comes the bad, the very bad and the ugly. Getting inspired from ugly experiences can help heal those situations.

Today, as you begin to write and work on your novel or write in your journal, think about an "ugly" situation that has stopped you, paralyzed you, and gain inspiration from it. Something that is so "ugly" and so tramatic can breed a new outlook, motivation, and beautiful inspiration. That in itself can produce a story out of this world.
