#preptoberchallenge Day 1: #InspirationStrikes - What inspired your WIP or what do you do when inspirations comes to you? Write it down or brainstorm right away? . . I am usually inspired by my surroundings. Music, the News, conversations, dreams, stories, experiences, art, tarot, film, etc. Then I ask what if? What if the situation was different? What if this took place in space? Or the future? Or the past? . I always write down my ideas in the moment, whether that be in my notes app, a scrap piece of paper, or a notebook. I then make a mind map and create Spotify playlists and Pinterest boards. . What about you? . #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #bookish #writersofig #igwriters #igwritersclub #writingcommunity #igwriters #writersofinstagram #writersbelike #writer #writing #keepwriting #writerslife #amplotting #amoutlining #goals #writinggoals #preptember #preptober #instawrimo https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DnusIgdel/?igshid=11rju4qdu2u06
