I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE THIS BLOG ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** YOU CAN TOO MUSE APPROVED ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** 30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT for January 21, 2020 How much of your own life or the lives of people you know do you put into your writing? Do you mine your past for inspiration, or do you create wholly new places and characters? In my writing, including blog writing, I draw heavily on real-life events, people, thoughts, etc. It's never pure fiction because I often get my story ideas from real-life experiences, and a lot of times my characters are written with a particular person in mind. Write about what you know, right. Andre the Blog Monkey is a constant inspiration, but we have difficulty getting along at times. He's not a fan of my writing, so he tends to take over, which is fine, because he is the better author, and much more popular than I'll ever be. I'm blessed with a very keen long term memory, which provides an almost endless supply of story ideas, and it's always growing. The trick is to select the memories that would be of interest to readers. So yeah... All of the above and a drunk monkey muse. |
