Something Personal;

So you like reading books. Maybe, you have even considered writing one yourself, Or are just curious to learn more about the writing process. Where do we get our ideas? How long does it take to write, edit and publish? Well, wonder no more!

Below I have answered one of my frequently asked questions that will hopefully give you an insight into the daily life of a writer and hopefully a little inspiration. If you enjoy or have your own questions, please reach out to me, and I'll be sure to do more.

Q) Where do you get your Ideas? Inspiration can come from anywhere and everywhere, from books I've read, films I've watched, my own experiences, and even people watching. Draw ideas from topics that interest you and combine two or more ideas to form a plot.

It's important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to get ideas, what works for someone else might not necessarily work for you, and that's okay. Not every two brains work the same. It's so important to write the book you want to read, not what you think everyone else will enjoy, because I can almost guarantee you won't enjoy writting it, and they won't enjoy reading it.

Here are a few great exercises to try:

• Go to a coffee shop with a notebook and a pen, sit by the window and pick a random person walking by on the street. Notice what they are wearing and how they carry themselves. From that, write a description and then give them a backstory. Where are they going? What do they do for work? What characteristics do they have? Flaws, fears and dreams?
• Many stories are based on folklore and fairy tales, but what if you changed an aspect of the story? What would that look like? For example, the Lilo & Stitch movie has a very similar concept to the ugly duckling. We can do this with anything like, what if we brought Rapunzel to the modern era? What would that look like? Then write it down.
• Start your own Writers Bible. What do I mean by that? A notebook filled with ideas that you can dip into from time to time for your current and future projects whenever you need inspiration. Again no right or wrong way to write this it's your space to do what you want. But personally, I use an A4 notebook with a topic title for each page and bullet points underneath to navigate between easily. Some topics I use are; conflict ideas, character roles, place setting, and random events.

Body Count By Logan Black.

Evelyn’s world just about ended when she caught her husband, Frank, cheating with a poolhall tramp. When he comes crawling back, she sees an opportunity to exact a little revenge and maybe have her own fun too. His penance? He’ll have to watch his wife as she’s railed by another man. He agrees, but with one stipulation. Whomever she picked has to have a higher body count than him, and, as a war hero freshly back from the South Pacific, that’s a tall order.

Good thing there’s more than one way to count bodies.

Enter Danny Diamond. The detective is approached by the couple while drowning his sorrows in a dim L.A. bar. There’s something electric and needful about the jilted wife that draws him to her like a moth to flame. He agrees to be a part of their little plot. After all, there’s no better way to forget your own troubles than to throw yourself into someone else’s.

But what happens if Frank likes the arrangement a little too much? And what if Evelyn has other plans far deadlier than just a roll in the hay?

Spreading Her Wings (The Butterflies Series Book 3), By Meg Becker.

I’ve always done the right thing, and I’m tired of being the good girl.

KATIE

I didn’t want any help, especially from my best friend’s aggravating twin brother. Auston Johannson took pride in his ability to test my patience, but he was handy. After he fixed my dryer, he reminded me that nothing is free, and when he needed a favor of his own, I wasn’t in the position to say no. A one-night arrangement quickly spiraled out of control. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, and for the first time, it felt so good to take a risk.

AUSTON

When I asked my twin sister’s best friend to pretend to be my girlfriend for a night, I didn’t expect her to agree to it. It was supposed to be one date and then we would break up. But somewhere along the way, the lines blurred. The loathing was replaced with the overwhelming need to see her smile. She got under my skin, and I shouldn’t have craved her the way I did.

She wanted to do something that scared her, and I wanted to see her fly.

But maybe life owes me a break… because when my saviour arrives in the form of a mysterious hunk of a fireman, something begins to simmer deep inside of me. I think I’m in love, and I’ve never even seen his face.

Rowan: When I rescue Grace from that fire, it isn’t just the adrenaline that’s making my heart go wild. Grace can laugh in the face of death, and she makes me smile like nobody else can. I’m used to dancing with danger, but this is getting all-too-real…

She’s a young student who just lost everything. He’s a mysterious firefighter hiding a big secret. Having earned a reputation as closed-off and controlling, Rowan is happy to stick to himself and keep his heart firmly locked up. But when he saves a charming and witty young woman, it ignites his heart in ways he never imagined.Grace is too innocent for his hardened, domineering personality – and she’s over a decade younger. Rowan knows that any relationship is bound to end in heartbreak anyways. But the longer he spends time with her, the more he finds that keeping his hands to himself is impossible…

Will the spark between them grow into a passionate and fiery love affair? Or is their unlikely love doomed to burn out?
