How watching the TV Show House helps me write

I have never watched the show before a few weeks ago. My dad had told me about it when it first aired but I was an avid devotee of the CSI crowd and was far too interested in it and other crime dramas. But as the years wore on and crime dramas began to loose their appeal after the hundredth one, I decided to see what it was all about.

Let me just say it only took one episode and I was hooked. I spent the next few weeks trying to catch up on the story line so I could watch the new episodes only to find that it's going off the air in May. Bummer. But there are still plenty of episodes I haven't seen yet.

So back on the subject at hand. Yes, watching House started my creative juices flowing and since I have DVR, I was able to pause when inspiration struck and jot something in my notebook. Then it just keep flowing out of my brain until an hour later, the storyline for the book was born.

There has to be something with the way House's mind works and the complex relationships and characters on the show that got me to thinking about my own characters in my book. And although the genre I write in has nothing really to do with medicine it was just the spark I needed to ignite the fires in my own imagination.

You never know where a muse will come from.
