I write a LOT...inspiration has come from something as nebulous as the way a man's lips lightly twitch when he's frowning, to something much easier to define...observing a harried mother trying to hold onto one of her very energetic toddlers...she wants him to stay with her, he wants to to escape into the depths of the store, strip off his clothes while serenading the sales ladies as he goes. Retrieving her naked mini-tenor over and over has the poor mother blushing bright red while making the day of the bored sales ladies brighter.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866209826449646004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192589828784769498.post-74278869847246782382014-02-02T22:21:05.496-05:002014-02-02T22:21:05.496-05:00You've summed the topic up so eloquently, I do...You've summed the topic up so eloquently, I don't have much to add! While travel is inspiring, as a mom, I can't just fly off when the muse hits. Don't laugh, but I enjoy "virtual travel" (speaking of which, thanks for the beautiful pictures). <br /><br />One of my biggest inspirations is a good book -- I want to recreate some more of that magic. <br /><br />Best wishes to you and Rachel with your dreams!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751196535459576514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192589828784769498.post-18986398689457158052014-02-02T16:17:13.288-05:002014-02-02T16:17:13.288-05:00Hi Chris, I was only talking about inspiration for...Hi Chris, I was only talking about inspiration for my writing the other day. When I wrote Sam and The Sea Witch it was because of the place I was staying and at the same time I was reading about sea witches living around the fishing villages in England.
