Optional Question for the month: When you are working on a story, what inspires you?
Such an awesome question deserves a thorough answer, but as this post goes out I'll be on vacay, so I'll make it short.
I find inspiration everywhere - in the way sunlight and shadow play across the grass, in the news, in my faith life, in music, in conversations, in activities and work done by friends and family members, and in books and movies I've read or seen (especially when I want them to go a little differently).
Often, these kinds of things jumble together in my brain and after I have a run with them in my imagination, I'm ready to let them pour out on the page.
What inspires you?
And, if you really miss me and want to read more, check out my Kindle Vellas or my books.

I'm like you, inspiration can come from anywhere!
I'm with you - everything I see and experience niggles its way into my brain. after a while, some of them coalesce into a story :)
Enjoy your vacation!
I can find inspiration in a lot of places, but music is probably my biggest source.
Enjoy your vacation!!
Enjoy your vacay.
I too find inspiration everywhere :)
Tyreann--that is a wonderful answer! Happy IWSG Day.
Like putting it all in a blender.
Enjoy your vacation!
Your uncomplicated answer illustrates an ultimate writing truth. A writer needs to let imagination be boundless and daring. The inspiration is all around us.

Have fun on your vacation! Yes, inspiration is all around us.
Elizabeth - I love the way imagination works..
I love the way all the different things come together.
Music is great for character moods, but I'm a little envious of how music works for other writers.
Thanks!
Joylene - Thank you!
Alex - yes, like that..
Arlee - yes!
Thanks, Natalie
The more attuned we are to the world around us, the more inspired we can become.
Everything is inspiration. Anything we experience has the potential to get funnelled into a story somehow.
Don't look for it and inspiration may come to you.
Inspiration comes from being aware of possibilities.... :-)
Hope you have a great vacations! Love that you find inspiration everywhere!
I agree wholeheartedly with you. Places, people and things inspire me too. Hope your vacation inspires you too, but take time to relax too.
