Valhalla Post 6: Inspirations
Hey everyone! Today, I would like to talk about the big topic of inspiration for me. First, a quick update.
Book 3 written: ~28%
Book 3 edited: ~25%
One thing that I know a lot of people can struggle with is inspiration. It could be finding your muse to write, draw, sew, weld, etc.. Every creative can have a real problem with it sometimes, and I would be lying if I said I didn't face a problem with it from time to time. To stay motivated 100% of the time just doesn't feel realistic. But, I would like to share the things that help to motivate me.
The top thing? A good story. Now, I want to nip one thing in the bud real quick. I don't just mean another book. I mean any story. It could come from a video game, anime, movie, tv show, podcast, or even from music. In fact, I remember the recent Dungeons and Dragons movie getting me all pumped up to write more in my book. Speaking of, sometimes even playing D&D gets me stoked to write more in my book. There's something about creating a small part of a fictional story that doesn't fully belong to you that makes you want to continue making a story, even if it is one that completely belongs to you.
The next top thing? Honestly, it's support from other people. For me, it usually comes in the forms of my friends and family. However, this can even come from seeing a sudden increase in books sold. To me, it doesn't matter if it's a digital copy sold, a paperback, or a hardcover. The fact that anyone gets a copy? It makes me happy and makes me want to continue writing. Every single one that gets purchased makes me feel like yet another person that is waiting for what comes next or that is openly, even if it isn't directly, supporting me. To all my friends and family, to all those that have bought my books, and to my one fan that even preordered the second book... Thank you. It truly means so much to me and makes me want to work that much harder in bringing you the next book.
Alright, well that's a wrap for this one! Everyone take care of yourselves, and take care of each other, and enjoy Pride Month. Always be who you know you were meant to be, no matter what anyone says. Whether it's being a part of the norm, or apart from the norm. There will always be people to support you, even if you haven't met them yet. Until next time, my Rising Stars!
