Picture A Plot #0001
People can find inspiration anywhere. Songs, movies, a simple word, a picture! Creativity is like that: Amazing. And fun. What is most amazing is how two different people can come up with entirely different ideas from the same source of inspiration.

Meet Laura Liddell Nolen
INGRID: Hi Laura, I’m very excited to have you on the blog today as part of the #VitualVoyager tour. It gave me the perfect excuse to move your book, THE ARK, to the top of my reading list, and boy, am I glad?! I had a fantastic time reading your work. I went through it in a couple of days, its ticking plot keeping me on my toes the whole time. What a treat.
LAURA: Thank you so much, Ingrid! I’m so happy to be here. Go Voyagers. I also loved Ignite the Shadows, so this is really fun for me....

So, if your strapped for money, snatch an ebook or go to the library and pick up the story in its printed format. The cost for your fun will come down from $5 or more an hour to $1 or less. Not to mention the fact that you get to keep the book to enjoy it over and over again, if you wish.
2. See the origin...June 3, 2015
Write Every Day
I’ve seen this quote attributed to Sir Winston Churchill and Napoleon Hill. Whichever the case, it’s a great quote and one that people with big dreams should examine closely. Because to have a big dream isn’t enough. Very few who have ever succeeded have reached their goals solely on luck, and this couldn’t be truer for authors—even those who are considered one-hit wonders had to work very hard to have their one success. Writing even just one book is a labor, preferably one born from lov...
