Okay so I've decided that an active writer doesn't keep a tidy house! Well it's my excuse for my flat at the moment. I have had a sweet morning writing a chapter of my book and actually feel as though my senses have awoken to the book again. I don't know why the inspiration is back, perhaps it never went away!
Sometimes I wonder whether the sheer fact that I have been writing essentially the same story for the last 10 years, whether it is time to start with something new. But then I think there must be something so strong in my imagination that makes me want to tell this story and share it with the world. I'll get there.
As promised as this blog is about inspiration, here are a number that have helped me this week.
(1) spending time at the National Gallery and picking a painting to for a writing competition. A picture paints a thousand words.
(2) music - as ever music plays to my imagination, songs in particular this week has been Timshel by Momford and Sons, very powerful lyrics, and Bonfire heart by James Blunt.
(3) Finding the Mojo version of the Beatles's 2nd album and really enjoying it as I am normally Beatles purist.
(4) Taking Chris out for dinner at one of our favourite haunts and taking time out to be together.
As the time is ticking, I'm going to leave you with this thought " it is better to have live one day as a tiger, than a thousand years as a sheep."
Hope you have a roaring week.
