Inspired

Ok I'm once again inspired as I write!

I Love It!

Eshe is moving forward even though it feels slow. But yesterday and today, BAM. It's flowing. Drives me crazy when I have to drive my daughter to school and dialogue is running through my head and I can't write it all down because I'm driving.

I know, I should record it right? I tried that before and at the time it didn't work for me.
Well at least when i made it home I pulled out the laptop and was able to get it all down and it sounded even better than in my head.

I was thinking too about writers who inspire me and I want to mention Christine Feehan. I think she is an amazing writer and I just joined her fan site and it has a member only section which is fabulous. If you've not read her stuff, please do! I discovered as I filled out some of the member info that I've actually read 24 of her books. I was shocked because I was thinking only about 10. Anyway she is an amazing writer and if you're into paranormal romance or just romance give her a read. I know you will not be disappointed.

Writing Madness!

The last few days have come like a furious wind of inspiration. It's amazing to me how it all got started.

I've been working on a vampire story as many of my friends have heard me speak about. It's also a series of works that will inter-relate to each other. The first book basically sets up the series so it has been you could say my baby.

I've shared it with only a limited few. But it's not completed because although I know the direction I became stuck and so I gave it a rest while other stories began to filter through me.

Anyway there is two directions I could take the main character. I am at this turning point and it's also a reason for the stall. I listened to my friend speak so passionately about the characters that it actually made up my mind in what direction they will go in. Because I knew if I wrote one direction he'd be happy and so would a lot of other people and if I went in the opposite direction as I had been thinking of he'd be disappointed along with many other readers.

So I sit down and begin typing away and suddenly the words began to flow and the story moved in a very unexpected turn of events in my head. Something I hadn't even considered suddenly came full force in front of me and this actually brought the story full circle.

This is the stuff I love when I write. When the unexpected suddenly says HERE I AM and it works.

So I had just finished chapter 18 and had played with 19 a bit. Now I go back and edit chapters 17 - 19 and wrote 20, 21, 22, 23 and started 24 this morning! Woooo that's what I'm talking about! Inspiration and Writing Madness!

That's also why I've not blogged for a couple days. Between writing and family visiting from out of town I was kept quite busy!

I like busy. :)

Inspirational Music

I've already mentioned before about being inspired and inspiration. The last two days has been a bit fun. I've kinda made my rounds with unfinished stories. What started it was simply, I was speaking to one of the friends who has been pre-reading an unfinished story and he was so excited as he told me certain parts that it sparked me to work on this particular story.

Well I have a playlist of songs that when I started the story this is what set my story in motion with inspiration. So in my iTunes I have this playlist ready. I put it on and started reading the last few chapters and before I knew it I was editing and writing and wrote two chapters.

I'd forgotten how powerful my playlist is and how it really tunes me into my story. I have several inspiration playlist but this particular one is really what showed me how well it moves me. So I'm just gonna put a quick thank you to the band Disturbed. THANK YOU DISTURBED! THANKS FOR BEING MY MUSE! YOU ROCK!
