I’m sure this one will be blogged about much today for the ‘I’ challenge. So be it. Everybody finds inspiration in different ways. It’ll be great to see how others describe their ways of finding it.
Mine comes in different forms. I’m amazed sometimes when and where inspiration comes from. I always know it when it does though. It’s like a familiar friend tapping me on the shoulder and giving me a little gift.
I find inspiration in nature very often, from my daughter even more, and other random places like news stories, snippets of conversation I overhear and other people I see. (I’m a writer, therefore an avid people watcher and eavesdropper. Fellow writers, can I get an amen?).
Inspiration can be found just about anywhere if you’re open to it. I also love hearing other people’s stories. I’m always amazed by other people and their lives.
So tell me…where do YOU find inspiration?

We are thieves, stealing from friends, family and strangers to acquire the stuff of our stories. Throw in a fertile imagination and you never know where it will take you. Of course a timely word from the muse (ahem! Wake up, I’m talking to YOU, Muse!) goes a long way too.
I also find inspiration in the Bible. I want to know some of these people better. They are not just names in a nice story – I wan to tknow who they really were and what were their hopes and dreams and desires and passions?

Inspiration is everywhere. You just have to look for it and see it with searching eyes or it will pass you by.
I keep little notebooks of inspirations. And then I cull through them for ideas when I’m stumped.
Busy, busy.
A lot of my inspiration comes from the kids, but nature–especially the shore–is a big source of inspiration for me too.
I get a lot of inspiration from just people watching. And also from other books – as well as from my very close friends. Oh yeah, and nature too. (Inspiration is everywhere, when you’re looking for it!)
