Five

Inspiration seems to come from the most random things for me. I could be talking to someone and out of nowhere I'll formulate a plot for a story out of the conversation. I think it's pretty cool, especially since I like the story I have in mind. Though, it's a bit tragic. It might upset me to write it, but I still like what's going to happen.

Maybe I'll post some snippets here after I finish the first draft, but it won't be very much. I wanna start small, make it a short story first, then a novella, then maybe a novel, if I can make it long enough. I'd rather not overwhelm myself.

I've also gotten more into reading again. It took a while, but I found a bunch of literature I actually enjoy, especially Stephen King. I began a book of his titled, "On Writing, a Memoir of the Craft" where he explains his techniques to developing a story. It's helped me out a lot, and his fiction is marvelous too.

Well, I think that's about it for now.
