Happy Labor Day, everyone! I had to work, but that’s okay. They paid us extra. I can’t believe that it’s September already. I know this is cliche to say, but this year has flown by. I decided to challenge myself into writing one post per day (we shall see if I bit off more than I can chew…only September will tell).
I found a Post-A-Day prompt for September on Pinterest (there is much more to that site than food and Mrs. Cleaver’s favorite picks). Here is a link to the pin: Pin me!
Day 1: Post something that inspires you.
I thought a lot about this one and finally decided that works of fiction, whether they be books, television shows, or movies, are what inspire me the most. For those of you who follow my blog on a regular basis, you see how much fan art I draw! From Star Trek to Babylon 5 to Lord of the Rings, if I am fond of it in any way, shape, or form, I start drawing.
Writing is a little different, but I would by lying if I said I never wrote any fan fiction whatsoever. I used to live for that stuff. Creating tales that involved my favorite characters was how I discovered that I loved to write. Those early stories that teenager me wrote were…eh, well I said “teenager me,” so that should shed some light on quality! It’s the fond memories that count and the fact that those stories exercised my creativity.
It’s been ages since I’ve written any fan fiction, but that was my own decision. If you like writing it, let your inner muse fly and go for it!
~Here’s to hoping I stick to my September plan.
Cheers!
