Writing instructors always tell authors to write from experience. That is true for most writers. But some times it comes from the romance you missed or the one that got away. I like to write from my own desires. In my books I can go to exotic places. Make love to the most beautiful woman. Have to adventures I couldn’t have other wise. I live my stories.

Hi, PJ–well, we’re either creative or a little, er, special, the way we can zone out the surrounding stuff and focus on a potential scenario for romance. I’ll probably get hit by a car someday while zoning out about something I saw at the side of the road that could potentially turn into a torrid tale. lol. Thanks for stopping by, PJ.

Liz–howdy! It’s it amazing the goofy things? ‘I picked up another person’s dry cleaning. OMG–there could be something earth shattering in the pocket!’ LOL.
Thanks, Liz.

Terrific blog, Beth. This is my first time visit and enjoyed reading the stories of inspiration. I love playing “what if” when trying to come up with a story idea. But its amazing what little things will trigger an idea.

Hi Beth! Thanks for a terrific blog. I’m always interested to learn where writers get their ideas and fascinated by how creative minds can take flight from hearing or viewing what most of us wouldn’t even notice.

I’m always intrigued by how writers are inspired and where their ideas come from. Whenever I hear a writer say the characters speak to them, I wonder how they keep it all together.

I love the writers who have the “what if” ideas. I remember being in high school and having my hockey player crushes and the what if ideas popping in and out of my head.

P.I.–I hear you about getting out. Sometimes when I’m working really hard or meeting a deadline, I think–you gotta get out of here! Just being around people, socializing or observing really helps the muse.

Mary–thanks so much! I appreciate that–it’s nice to find an author, but a bit of a let down if they write the same thing over and over.

Hi Julie–it’s a sauna out there, huh? I’m so glad you participated in this–thanks! I’m still curious about that attorneys on motorcycles story…

Hi Beth!

I’m always so interested in hearing about where other authors get their ideas. Ever since you told me your inspiration for Paradise Rules, that story of the young girl singing has stuck with me. Can’t wait to see how you use it in the book. Plus, Hawaii is such a fantastic location.
