Finding Inspiration
Hello all today I thought I would talk about inspiration.
As a writer, inspiration is a big part of the creative process when you write, you need something to be inspired by whether a person, subject or an occurrence in your life that just inspires you.
But what if none of these things are present how do you find that inspiration to keeps the creative juices flowing?
How do you get inspired?
What motivates you to keep you going so that creative energy doesn't stop and goes where you want it to go?
#
Inspiration is an essential part for all of us whether writer, artist, whatever field you are in, you need something to inspire you.
Feel free to leave me a comment below and tell me what inspires you.
My inspirations are things in my daily life that happen and I think oooh actually I could use that and turn it into something awesome and inspiration can come when I am out and about, in bed, watching a movie or just being quiet and sometimes in the shower which proves my next point you never know where your next piece of inspiration will come from and when it will come. :)

Mercury Retrograde, What is it all about?
Hello everyone, Isra here. You may have heard me mention the Mercury Retrograde in my last post and I imagine some of you are wondering what this phenomenon is. Well I'm going to tell you.
Mercury Retrograde is the name for when the planet Mercury actually goes back, into retrograde instead of forward, and this can be quite an auspicious time as we can sit back, review and think on some things we have done and also complete things we have unfinished.
Now there are some pitfalls, Mercury dominates communication as well as other elements, so don't make big decisions, don't start new projects, don't sign contracts, don't enter into a new relationship or partnership are just some of the things to avoid when Mercury is in Retrograde.
Of course that doesn't mean you should hide under the duvet for this entire time as you could be missing out on something really awesome! Let me explain. The Mercury Retrograde lasts for about three weeks, it started on April 23rd when Mercury entered the shadow, this time and will go back to it's direct state on 22nd May so during this time we can sit back and reflect and work on with our current projects that we have started, note, do not start anything new during Mercury going Retrograde.
Many aspects of our past will return during this time and I am feeling strong past life connections, centred around romantic relationships, relationships that were started around this time or just before, will likely end before the Retrograde is over. Past lovers may return and we may be forced to think about and reflect on what we really want, for ourselves in our lives! Mercury is all about the three R's, so review, reflect and rethink is the key to getting the best out of this time. Now many astrologers and witches, say don't do spells or ask for new things during this period but I say it is a powerful time to bring about what you want the most, so while asking for new things is definitely out for this one, it is okay to perform spells for other things at this time, such as prosperity, rekindling an old romance, protection spells for yourself and the home, maybe even your business and also healing because truthfully, this is a powerful and most magickal time, so don't waste it.
Well I hope that gave you some insight into what Mercury Retrograde is all about. I have been involved in the paranormal as well as the witchcraft world and spirituality for long as I can remember so naturally I need to know about what the planets are doing as well.
Until next time, take care of yourselves and have fun out there! Isra xxx

June Updates- NY Times Boxset Mermaids & Dragons & Newsletter
Hello everyone, I haven't come on to blog for a while. I do apologise for that but I've had some things take up my time, of which I have been very busy as I re-released "Her Blackened Soul" now it had a new format and cover as well as some bonus content so it seemed perfect for the update on Amazon!
Also now you can find my books universally at https://www.books2read.com/u/b5OLql and also on Smashwords if you are not a fan of Kindle or Amazon, https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
I am also releasing "Her Blackened Heart" in July/ August so to coincide with that "Her Blackened Soul" will be FREE to download from 30th June- 2nd July! https://www.amazon.com/Her-Blackened-...
My biggest news is that I am involved in a project with other authors called The Sky and Sea Boxset. The theme is Mermaids and Dragons. They will have more information as they shape and work the set but for now I will share with you my offering,
"Tainted Siren" a story about sixteen year old Esme, a mermaid who is cursed by life and tainted by death!
A mermaid born into royalty but longs to be free! She is held righteously to the virtues of the kingdom however she does not want to be queen! She tumbles to the bottom of the ocean; meeting the mysterious merman Lazarus when things turn stormy!
Lazarus sets Esme on a path of darkness and rebellion, giving her the choice to roam by his side or save her cursed kingdom? Tragic events ensue, placing the fate of the kingdom in her hands!
Lazarus proves a deadly influence as Esme falls for his charms! A seductive distraction in her wake as chaos overrules. An unknowing curse wreaking havoc at the very heart of everything Esme holds dear.
Will Esme give into lust and thus plunge into cataclysm?
I am really looking forward to this release. I am enjoying working with a different theme and it has provided me some new variables to play with! There will be stories in the set either featuring just mermaids and dragons and some stories featuring both! It is really exciting for everybody involved as we are likely to gain a lot of new readership as well as meeting friends, fans and having a tonne of fun along the way! It is being managed by author Rebecca Hamilton and is running with the paranormal romance/ urban fantasy genre which is going to be super awesome! I will update you as and when I know more!
If you wish to stay connected you can also sign up for my email newsletter which I send out generally once a fortnight but more often if I have a free book to offer out that I feel may interest people on my list. I will also be sending out my releases in this newsletter as well as news and other cool stuff, check it out here https://www.facebook.com/IsraSravenhe...
