New Ideas and Inspiration

I know I’ve said it before, but inspiration is everywhere. I find I get little snips of ideas from all kinds of things.

Newspapers, reality TV, a dance routine, a song lyric. Just recently I got an email from JetSetter (I subscribe to all kinds of naughty things…for research, you understand!) with glamorous vacation packages to locations I’d never even considered using in a book before!

It just confirmed for me that inspiration, seeds that can grow into new books are everywhere.

I’m getting started on my 12th Presents, still waiting to hear back on the 11th. I find myself just as excited to write this was as I was to do the first eleven.

Another plug for writing what you LOVE, too. As a reader, I find it so refreshing to get lost in a Presents. As a writer, I feel the same way. Creating new characters, new conflicts, new locales…it’s a thrill for me.

And I never know where a new idea might pop up!

Keep your eyes open. Inspiration is everywhere!
