So I was thinking about my last post, and decided that I needed to amend what I said.
I do not disagree with writing about what you know, but I do think that you need to be creative about it. With the stuff that I was exposed to growing I and my own personal interests I could write an awesome spy novel if I were inclined, but most days I'm not.
That doesn't mean that you don't have the material, just that you need to change your approach.
So like many writers I was looking at what I have done before to find inspiration now, I was stunned its starting to work, the ideas started flowing again like they haven't in years.
But now, like I did then I had a journal with me now and I started writing it all down. If I trusted the internet to keep a secret I would post my idea list here, but I don't so you'll have to imagine a five point bullet list of awesomeness.
I wish I could explain the almost spiritual warmth I experienced when I realized I had successfully started reclaiming my writing.
Having the ideas is just a beginning, I have to develop them. It was when I started scribbling in my Journal that I realized that I have a process.
A formula if you will.
