FINDING INSPIRATION - WHEREVER YOU ARE!

This is a short post, as it’s rather like teaching your grandmother to suck eggs! Or at least, that’s what my nanna used to call it. :D

I think as writers we tend to forget about the inane. Because our job is fantasy. Creating a whole new world to transport our readers from the mundane and to excite them and to take them from their woes. Who was it that said a book is the cheapest vacation you can ever have?

But reality is still important and so, as I sit here, in a supermarket using their wifi to write this post, I ask that you take a moment to look at the everyday people around you. Their strifes, their woes and their stresses and use them as inspiration. I know authors often say that they are people watchers, that they create characters from the people around them. But I find this incredibly hard. And I’m taking the time to sit back and really look and learn. 

Have a great day and take a moment to just watch. I wonder what we can learn if we just take the time and refuse to be impatient!
