The Power To Write- Get Inspired

     The writer's experience is a novel in itself!  We go through so many adventures and trials both in our books and in real life.  Every author's experience is different!  How fun is that?  Our readers only get to go through half the fun that we do.  It's like some of those movies where people leave on a quest, go through and learn so much, and actually have a great, unforgettable time.  But once they're back home - they never want to do it again - they don't want to leave.  If people who don't write could go through what we do, without the hassle of writing, I'm sure they wouldn't forget it either.  It's fun, self-fulfilling, and it makes you full - as if to say, " the cake was the best cake I've ever had and my stomach's so full there isn't room for any more." -  Ha, ha - it's kind of like kids when they're worn out.  Give them time and they'll go at it again.

There hasn't been a movie without a soundtrack.  Every movie has one.  Music brings out the feelings/emotions, problems/tensions, direction, and mood/setting of a subject matter.  Although the reader may not be able to read with music playing, the words on the pages play themselves out as such, and the writer of a book can certainly apply this technique to "feel" the material that he writes.  You might even find that your book is inspired by a song.  If nothing else, the song could inspire you.

     It's never too late to write your book!  If you enjoy writing, keep it that way.  Writing is a gift you've been given.  The awesome part to this gift is that it is one meant to be shared with others.  It starts as your own inspiration and then grows to inspire many more hearts.  But the only way it can come out of your pocket is if you write for yourself and no one else.

     Relax when you write.  A lot of the time, if you think about writing as an art, you become patient and keen for detail like an artist, painting a portrait.  If writing in your pajamas makes you relax, then do just that.  If drinking a cup of coffee, etc. will help, then have a cup.  Maybe you're thinking about writing a scene where a character from your novel is in his/her pajamas, or a small impression of a cup of coffee; if so, this might bring you into character as well.

     How's writing coming along?- Just make sure you're having fun!  As a writer, I can say, we know why we write; income yes, but above all it's because we love to.  "Hobby writing," you could call it.  It doesn't matter which way you spin it, authors enjoy their job.  And though we are not always happy with our work, like a spat with a friend every now and then, we will, forever, come back to it.


     Writing is in our blood; it's the adventure we've been given and the adventure that we give.  Writing is ......immortal-

     Authors that put their time into their work and love what they write should be proud.  Not everyone can say they wrote it to their liking.  If you start to feel uneasy about the quality of your novel, i.e. its selling potential, just look at some of your works that you were happy with.

     Every author is filled with emotions when they write something they're happy with.  Think about how you felt when you wrote that piece.  What inspired you to write that book?  Or- think about a part of your book that you are particularly fond of.  I like to capture that feeling, even write about it.  It's inspiration.
