It isn’t always easy to find inspriation.

My muse has an odd sense of humor and an ironic sense of timing. I’m SO close to finishing the Amazon book. But there was a crucial decision I needed to make. The heroine, Rebecca, was standing at a crossroads — a decision that would change her life forever. And there she stood. For a week or more.

Then my muse finally took pity on me. She told me to send Rebecca down the right path. Unfortunately, she whispered the decision in my ear at 4:55 AM Saturday morning. While I am eternally grateful for her assistance, Saturday is the day I need to catch up on my rest. But just like men will always trade sleep for sex, I traded sleep for inspiration. The story is now writing itself, and it will be ready for Golden Heart competition.

I also received a heaping dose of inspiration from my beloved Critters. We met yesterday to participate in one of our normal “slash and burn” sessions. Just being with these ladies sends waves of motivation roaring through me. We laugh. We talk. We critique. We eat chocolate. Oh, how I love these women! And I always come away from our meetings with inspiration and motivation to spare. I’ve written a whole chapter since I got home last night. And that’s in addition to editing the three chapters they critiqued. Thank you, thank you, Critters!

So, for me it doesn’t matter. Day. Night. Weekday. Weekend. I’ll take inspiration anywhere and anytime it comes.
