I have a thumb drive with ideas, story starters, titles, first page/chapter/paragraph etc. and visit these regularly. When inspiration hits, I go with it, if not, I take a look at something else.. Everyday, I add something to the list as things, scenes, conversations trigger something.
3am seems to be an inspirational time for me and it's not unusual for me to be sitting up in bed writing down ideas, story lines, even the outline for a full piece of work!
Having said that, it's also not unusual to re-visit my bedside notebook and wonder what on earth it all means!
I'm a great believer in 'go with the flow'.
Don't get stressed over it - move onto something else or simply don't write anything that day. Inspiration will only come when it's ready.(less)

It's also a case of having to write. When a story hits, I simply have to write it. If a title rears its head, I know that I'll eventually have a story to go with it.
I just love being a writer(less)

Short Story Now Available

My new short story is now live on Amazon Kindle.

‘What’! Screeched Stacey is designed to be a good laugh for girls – particularly those with brothers!.

Stacey stood watching as Dad and her brothers tied a long metal ladder and wooden planks to the top of the truck.

She didn’t know what was going on but no way was she missing out! …

‘I’m sorry’, said Dad, laughing and patting the top of her head, ‘bu

Helen’s Quotes

“There is an odd synchronicity in the way parallel lives veer to touch one another, change direction, and then come close again and again until they connect and hold for whatever it was that fate intended to happen.”
