Where Does Inspiration Come From

Apparently inspiration can come from anywhere! Even in the middle of a shower, when you're lathering up your hair. I bought Suave (rosemary and mint) shampoo based on ONE the bottle was green TWO it reminded me of summer working in the garden and THREE it smells like a herb garden. I admit this winter is making me miserable. I'm trying to think of greener days any way I can, and NO I'm not carrying around sniffing Suave shampoo to get a summer high.

                                                              

So yes, I was lathering up my hair and I had a lightning strike in the noggin moment. There has been this question about a character that I have been asking myself for at least a month. I am a HAVE TO KNOW type and sometimes on the dramatic side.

 I know I drove my family nutty. They would ask how my day went, and I would respond with I need to know why my character can see Grim Reapers! I know she likes to dress like a biker chick, I know why she took a spastic fit during Science, but why can she see DEATH! Just a little creepy. Thanks to Suave I KNOW, I really know. The sad part is my subconscious knew all along because I sprinkled bits and pieces throughout my MS. It was just my brain catching up with what I already knew. Sigh....

So tell me your lightning strike moment.

Calendar Spoof Inspiration

Mom does not have it together!  Why you ask?  One small glitch!

I lied...one HUGE glitch!

They messed up the days on the calendar.  My very observant Hubby who has attention to details with numbers picked up on the tiny mistake that would have sent me writing the wrong date for the whole entire year.  I will give myself some credit, maybe I would have noticed it.....umm in November!

That is my inspiration for today.  If a misprinted calendar went into print sold at Michaels for an outrageous price, and made it into the homes of many moms.....darn it who knows maybe one day my story could make it into print too!

If that is not enough inspiration for you then go visit Seekerville Julie's post was amazing yesterday!

2010...Your magic number?
