Inspiration, it's a funny thing...

Okay, so I had a creative lightning bolt hit me the other day. I was looking through Pinterest, as I do, when I came across this picture.

Light bulb!

It hit me, POW!! Just like that I had a new story idea. I scrambled around for my notebook and started scribbling. I didn't stop for about 30 minutes. I just wrote down every thought that popped into my head, then those made me think of other ideas and so on and so forth. My initial flash of inspiration had snowballed into a brilliant *ahem* story idea. I was thrilled, I still am. 

I was thinking today why that happened. Was it fate? I could have been doing something else and missed this picture completely. What was is about that pic that set my neurons firing? I don't think I'll ever be able to answer that one, but I'm bloody glad that it did! :) If I'm feeling brave I might put some on here, we'll see.

Okay, I'm off to write some more.



See you next post,

Milestones

I find that the more I write, the more obsessed I become with milestones. I am proud to announce that I have, not even twenty minutes ago,  reached the 25k words milestone! 

*waits for fanfare* *holds breath*

The silly thing is, no one else gives a stuff about it but me! So whats the big deal? It's about proof I suppose. This ever increasing number is proof that I'm doing something that I have always wanted to do. It's proof that every day day I come closer to actually reaching this goal that I have set myself. 

Noah - A Little Snippet

I am writing a book. It's a fantasy book. It's also going to be a YA fantasy book... I think anyway. Here's a little snippet...


Noah

   "Stupid Order, with their stupid Council, putting on a stupid babysitting job!" Noah muttered as he kicked a rock into the fire. He watched as the sparks flew up into the night like a swarm of fire-bugs.
   "Why is she so special anyways?" Noah sat down, landing with a thump on the dirt next to the fire. He knew he should be watching this Lea girl, but it was the middle of the night, and she was asleep. How much trouble can one human girl get up to while asleep, right?
