All the times I look frantically for something, and it’s not there. Then when I go back a while later, the thing I’m looking for is sitting right in plain sight! How does this happen? Where does the thing go? This is at least a weekly occurrence in my house 😊

Partly from my own experiences and those of my own children. Filled in from my own imagination :)

When I quietly observe. I see things I can use in stories, and the ideas come more easily when my head isn't flooded with daily life.

I have some preliminary settings and storylines for a follow-up novel to my first one. I'm also still working on the best way to use social media to promote 'A Wild Ride". I also am working on improving my photography skills, particularly in the areas of wildlife and nature. Sometimes the writing and photography feed off each other, and lend ideas.

Don't hang on to your ideas, thinking that they're not book-worthy. Go for it - if you need assistance, get an editor, or bounce your ideas off a creative friend. Find a way to get the best version of your story out there for people to read!

Seeing your ideas come to life. There's no better feeling that holding your own completed book in your hands.

Meditation and spending time in nature definitely helps. Journaling each of my new ideas as they pop up also helps.

My son accidentally dropped his brand new iPhone 12 in the lake while fishing, and it promptly sunk to the bottom. The next week, he did exactly the same thing with its replacement :0

Harry Potter's world is most rich and amazing. Middle Earth, and any of the lands from Game of Thrones would also be fascinating.

On my list this summer are plenty of audiobooks, as I do spend a fair bit of time in my car. My favourite 'listens' for long trips are any audiobooks from Nora Roberts :)
