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.

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,

Hi there,
So as some of you may already know, I have another blog. It's the YABluewater blog and it is dedicated to YA Fiction. I set it up when I started a YA book club where I work. It has reviews, interviews, cover reveals, that sort of thing; as well as all the book club related stuff. I spend a lot of time over there! lol The thing is though, that I don't just read YA books and I don't want to share only book related things. That's why I set up this blog, so I could post non-YA book reviews, and share my most recent makes. Also so I can have somewhere to talk about my writing. So that's what I'm going to do here.
This part, the non-YA reviews part, is particularly exciting for me. There are SO MANY amazing books out there! I work in a book shop so I get to see them *all* the time! I have a long list of books that I want to review for you guys too! I'm looking forward to it :D I might start tomorrow, hehe.
Anyways, I'll see you next post,

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.
