The pattern just really drew me in and each tile seemed to be leaning up against the other and if one of them had broken free it seemed like the whole floor would fall apart - or at least it did by the time my over active imagination got hold of it. Strange, but this lead me to write a short story about a floor that actually did fall away.<br />Thanks for sharing your strange inspiration with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430542938163277075.post-91415568037769667902010-08-30T20:46:06.010-05:002010-08-30T20:46:06.010-05:00I would love to visit your inspiring place :) Me? ...I would love to visit your inspiring place :) Me?

I can't say, but my current WIP was inspired by me peering out the window of my "then" fourth floor apartment as snow blanketed Chicago and thought, "what ifs". Those what if's led to a full-fledged novel. Inspiration comes in all shapes and forms. :)About Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011023963327391019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430542938163277075.post-45389457013337410282010-08-28T07:34:04.469-05:002010-08-28T07:34:04.469-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.About Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011023963327391019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430542938163277075.post-3867454819686253832010-08-26T09:17:56.767-05:002010-08-26T09:17:56.767-05:00Strangest? I'm not sure it was the strangest, ...Strangest? I'm not sure it was the strangest, unexpected I'd say. <br /><br />I was just sitting in Barnes and Noble working away on another project. In walks this tall, skinny girl, wearing a blue tu-tu with dark leggings and a bright red top. <br /><br />I did a double, then triple take. . . but then, I thought, 'Oh yeah, what a great character.' I stopped what I was doing, wrote over a thousand words. It ended up being the opening scene of the book that landed me my agent. <br /><br />Crazy weird. Totally unexpected. But hey, gotta go with the flow when it starts, right? <br /><br />Write on, my friends!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
