Otherwise how could we be confident enough to think anyone else would want to reads our words?!)<BR/><BR/>My inspiration... comes from a place that likes to hide. I don't know. Music. Back when I was in school, the most RANDOM things in lectures (even bio or chem lectures!) would spark something in me. Lately, I've had to dig deeper. But it's almost always where I don't expect it.<BR/><BR/>(And those easy ideas? At least for me, they're never usually that good.)Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-49131527917753701942008-12-09T17:21:00.000-08:002008-12-09T17:21:00.000-08:00Renee, welcome back.

I need to start carrying a journal around. I guess it would only work if I left the house though, huh? :)<BR/><BR/>Nat, have I ever seen House? Was that a real question? Have I ever seen House!? :) lol. Yes, love that show. He's like one of my favorite characters, which says a lot about my twisted nature. But, anyway, I could totally see that about you. With how many ideas your mind has generated, it seems that you can find inspiration in everyday conversations, so that makes complete sense.Kasie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169629001145903361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-6698784443232143622008-12-09T08:39:00.000-08:002008-12-09T08:39:00.000-08:00Have you ever seen House?

Love that show...and I kind work like that when it comes to inspiration. <BR/><BR/>I'll just be talking with someone and joking around, or doing some menial task where my mind wanders, and then bam—it just hits me. <BR/><BR/>Once that initial inspiration ignites, I stoke the fire with research and finding my MC. Then it usually takes off from there.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285879888452949022.post-25985689008869039792008-12-09T06:01:00.000-08:002008-12-09T06:01:00.000-08:00I get inspiration from all around me - my own life...I get inspiration from all around me - my own life experience, people watching, friends, music.

You see, in the fourth book of my series I decided to tackle action and I loved it. I haven't seen Bond yet, though, maybe I should.

My newest WIP was inspired by Bond. James Bond. Mostly because it made me want to write some action scenes. And taa-daa! New book.<BR/><BR/>So I guess I'm inspired by boredom and an overactive imagination.Kiersten Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780265683043033609noreply@blogger.com
