I like to walk in the mountains. It always helps me to think and be inspired.

What’s something I can do easily, in Wilsonville, Oregon? Where I don’t have mountains? ????

P.S. Thank you for your help, regardless of what it is. Anything at all can inspire me. Can you tell I’m trying to get creative ideas to write?

I would suggest any quiet place, even your favorite chair. Personally, I find the ideas will come, if my mind is open to them and not distracted by a hundred other things. Give it a try?

Hi, Bre! Most of my ideas come from day to day life. I love watching the relationship dynamics, etc., of people around me. I’m also inspired by music. I will hear a theme in a song and see a story arc. Glad you’re writing!

Thank you! So am I! My friend Aly decided, with another booktuber, to creative a different version of NaNoWriMo. 🙂

Oh my gosh I think I have it and I could cry! I was thinking about how much I didn’t want to write something cheesy and certain tropes that I’m tired of and it came together in my head! I have tears in my eyes. Now, I’ve read a lot of books and I’ve never read anything like this, so I hope it’s original enough!! ??????❤️

Excuse the terrible grammar and sentence structure. I’m a little excited.

Yup. Crying from excitement. How can I find out if my plot is already a thing? I tried googling the plot and it didn’t show up. ?

I often think of great ideas when I’m driving. I keep my iPhone handy and I dictate quickly voice to text in the notes feature every time I think of an idea. I also get ideas when I’m walking my dogs or if I’m out for a run. And I often get inspired when I’m reading other books!
