Happy monthly posting for The Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG)! It is a time where writers from around the virtual world gather to share a little bit of their writing journey with others. Give a few of them a visit. Today’s post is being co-hosted by Victoria Marie Lees, Sarah Foster, Natalie Aguirre, and C. Lee McKenzie!
The optional question this month is – Do most of your story ideas come from one place (the news, dreams, etc.) or do they hit from all over the place?
My story ideas hit from a variety of places. My first book was a combination of a personal experience and a story on the news. My second book came from a picture prompt for a short story contest, and I just knew it was way bigger than the short was allowing. My third book was a combination of an image of a girl on a porch combined with a ripped-from-the-headlines idea, and my fourth book came from a dream. Since the news played a part in two of my books, it won’t surprise anyone when I say it’s time for some news.
That is one spunky coyote.
I leave you with a song. See you next month.
