My Civil War series came from a desire for someone to just write the truth for once. <br /><br />My modern Christmas novella came from me just wanting to try out a plotting technique with a coffee shop setting. Then, it became my way of showing respect to our Police force. <br /><br />I have several ideas for future books and most of them are inspired by an idea in a historical setting. When I heard about Germans resisting Hitler, a scenario popped in my head for a trilogy. <br /><br />Other times, heroes inspire me. Mostly, I want to write the books I can't find;)Ryana Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448055348627114720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-78782641352172436342018-06-07T03:12:20.029-05:002018-06-07T03:12:20.029-05:00Great post again!

It makes me always wonder who they are, whether they know each other, and if so, what their relationship is, how they ended up having this conversation etc. etc. ect.

Occasionally though, an idea will spring from a scene or concept, and that’s always kind of fun.Maddie Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10881137664211550244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-11497759790293218522018-06-06T11:36:58.052-05:002018-06-06T11:36:58.052-05:00My style is closest to Jill's--it starts with ...My style is closest to Jill's--it starts with a concept. Maybe I want to write a fractured fairy tale, or a story that blends genres, like superhero fantasy. That's how both of my recent major projects started, with just an interesting concept that slowly got fleshed out into an entire, amazing world and characters.

My current WIP was from this ancient character that I dusted off and reduced to the bare bones, just because he's always had potential (and I can't remember where I thought of him from). Another project I'm carving away at came form me looking at a part of my life and wondering what if this fantastical thing happened? I think it's kind of a way for me to express my feelings about a certain part of my life while playing around with some fantasy concepts. <br /><br />~True // atruewriter.blogspot.com True Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13040336998083343748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-53761963898275526412018-06-06T09:09:48.614-05:002018-06-06T09:09:48.614-05:00Thanks for having me.

Some were based on real life experiences I needed to write out. My latest novel ( a story about breakups and relationships) was really just my whole life fictionalized, and was a way for me to heal as my main character searched for healing. <br /><br />keturahskorner.blogspot.comKeturah Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041749245034077912noreply@blogger.com
