Inspiration

Inspiration strikes me at ALL hours of the day, and when I least expect it. (Maybe I should just start expecting it). Wait, I take that back. I do expect it. Anyone who knows me, even a little, has seen my huge spiral bound notebook that I carry around for when inspiration hits me, or my Moleskine notebook that fits perfectly into my purse.

Or, what about my green backpack that everyone makes fun of me for? You know what's in my "bag of tricks"? My spiral notebook journal (I try to change colors when I use a new one, currently I'm using a navy one with brightly colored circles on it - the next blank one is green - and I've used two black ones and a plain navy one), my calfskin NLT bible, a novel - the current one is called Tandem, a personal development book - currently "I quit" by Geri Scazzero, a writer's book, 10 colord pens for editing anything I have written, my thumb drive, writing magazines, and a freaking patridge in a pear tree!

I was driving down the road the other day when I was inspired. I started to tear up at the beautiful metaphor that God gave me as I was driving. As soon as I could I stopped in a parking lot and began furiously writing all the things I could so that when I got the chance to write I would have some good notes to stir fresh creativity.

I am currently working on a short story called The Performance. I'll upload it as soon as I am done. I have the first draft almost completed and after editing and revision it will be worth posting.

Thanks to those who have decided that this is worth reading, there will be more to come as the inspiration comes and my diligence in writing is crafted. I look forward to this journey, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
