Where do our story ideas come from? I’ve heard that authors get asked that all the time. If someone asked me that, I’d probably just stare at them. I’ve heard everything from dreams, to real-life issues that need to be dealt with, to them just popping up out of the blue… even so far as a misspelled word.

A post about writing.
So, are we ready to go on an adventure? What? Oh, yeah… we need to get some stuff ready before we go. Just can’t go wandering willy-nilly, can we? Let’s see… what are we going to need for our trip?
My finger hit the period, setting a finality to things that I’d assumed were only possible to others. I had done it. I finished a full-length book… a novel. Where had this come from? This… beast of 68 thousand words? I wasn’t a writer. Or, at least I had convinced myself, not an ‘official’ one, yet… even though I had 3 published short stories on Amazon already.
I have always loved the written word, an avid reader delving into college-level books in 5th grade. While drawn to the scifi/fantasy genres, I read EVERYTHING… mysteries, biographies, heavy science, romance, westerns… all of it.
