Where do you get your inspiration?

I tend to write a great deal in my head before I even put it on paper. Sometimes the “voices” all try to vie for my attention at once. The ideas just come so quick I want to tell them to take a number. I carry a small tape recorder with me most of the time and even sleep with it beside my bed because I don’t know when the “voices” will speak to me. My daughter tells me there is medicine for this but I assure her that, as a writer, having ideas come to me is a very good thing.

  I take walks in the cemetery; we have a lovely one about a half mile from here that is the best I have ever been in. It sets just above the Pawcatuck River and no matter how hot it is you always have that glorious breeze coming off the water. I love walking there and find on most days the ideas just flow one right after the other. I love that cemetery so much that I use it as a setting in my upcoming book SOMEWHERE IN MY DREAMS.  

   The other day I saw this lady in the back seat of a vehicle and, just from the look on her face, had to rush home and write a whole paragraph on her. I put it way for now and will revisit her when her story comes to me.

   My newest storyline is the same way, I just feel drawn to write a storyline that includes a very special child. The book will be about a mother’s love and determination to make sure those she comes in contact with treat her child as a person, not a condition. She is looking for someone to love her and her child equally and will not settle for anything less. It will require a lot of research to get it right but getting it right is the most important thing.
