I wrote a post last fall, when Sunshine Factor was pretty young, about going for a walk and getting a lot of good writing ideas.
Today I found out that I can get a lot during my meditation time.
And yesterday as I was on my blog I got the words “wax bikini”. Weird, huh? But I decided to go with it. The result was the limerick I put on my other blog for today’s post, http://poetryweekly.wordpress.com. I figure, I get these thoughts for a reason.
Inspiration hits me through many venues, so I go about my life aware of the possibilities.
Audience participation segment:
How do you get your inspiration for what to write? Or, if you are not a blogger but get ideas for other things, i.e. hobbies, how do the ideas make themselves known? It would be fun to find out.
Another place I get my writing ideas from is at work, sitting at my computer. One afternoon right after lunch one day, I got an idea for a book. While I data entered the whole afternoon, by the time I got out of work that day I had the whole outline, characters and plot worked out in my head. (I’ve since written a lot of that book, and now it’s on the back burner while I write my positive cancer book.) My car is another place.
