Freedom - You get to write whatever you want - no one tells you what to write. Inspiration comes from amazing and unpredictable places.

Always be searching for truth - it's out there. Read and read and read. Write about anything - just write. Free write first thing in the morning about whatever comes to mind even if it does not make sense. A fulfilling project will come together eventually!

After thinking long and hard, close to 15 minutes, I would say that Clark Kent and Lois Lane are my favorite fictional character.
Clark loves Lois so much he would do everything he can to keep her from knowing who he really is. Lois loves Superman so much she would do anything to find out he really is. So this love is unfulfilled because it is so real and so complicated and basically Superman just will not trust Lois to keep a secret!

Typically inspiration will come while dealing with life situations. In many instances song lyrics I have written will come out of a time of extreme grief or joy. In those times the need to express emotion and inspiration come together. My creative outlet of expression is writing. It may be a verse to a song or a short story or a reflection on deep religious themes. Other times of inspiration will come after quite contemplation, bible study or prayer. Many mornings I will wake with ideas, words, rhymes and thoughts swirling around my brain and I usually make the effort to rise and write everything down before dawn, when they get swallowed up by the events of a new day.

As a homeschooling parent, I have always tried to encourage my children to reason from a foundation of logic and morality. When I began a blog post series of apologetic topics from A to Z I was inspired to write some rhyming verse which would encourage children to explore various occupations and situations. My good illustrator friend Megan Tennant responded with positive energy and a few sketches. The result of our collaboration is a whimsical and imaginative journey for the young reader with the added bonus of allowing them to come up with answers to the question posed "what would I do?"
