HELLOOOOO
YOUR GIRL'S BACK.
Like I said in the previous chapter, I was running out of inspiration for a new chapter, but here I am! With a new Chapter! Called Inspiration!
And I promise I am VERY SORRY about disappearing for over a week.
Inspiration! It hits you like a speeding bullet during, say, a test, and refuses to show it's face when you actually sit down to write. The most INCONSISTENT thing in the world, amirite? Trust me, I've been there done that. So. Fudging. Annoying.
Inspiration is precious. It's rare. It lets you down when you need it the most. So naturally, you need to find a way to hold onto it. You need to be able to call it back when you need it.
And how I like to do that? I like to take notes.
An idea hits me in the middle of math class, I take a pencil and scribble it down on the desk, or jot it down on my palm with a marker. Then, I can actually record it on something, like a notebook reserved for writing or Notes app on your phone.
It doesn't have to be a major breakthrough idea. Remember, inspiration is a rare privilege, (for me, at least), so when a word or phrase catches my eye, I pull out my phone and take note of it. Nothing too fancy. Sometimes when I'm reading, I type more than I actually read, because I'm pretty busy looking at words and stuff and thinking 'ooh! pretty!' or 'ooh! nice!' or 'ooh! that's brutal!'. Anything that could be useful, or not useful at all, I make sure not to forget it. You'll never know when you need it
I'll show you my list minus the more personal stuff and some potential spoilers for my book that I'm working on.
It's called: Random Book Idea Stuff idk Don't you dare look get the heck outta here.
(The last part was for my parents)
1- her eyes were bright, ignited by her burning fury
2- The heavy fleece did little to protect her from the icy wind/brittle cold
3- the class chorused back
4- I had lost the feeling in my hands, which was in some ways- a blessing. At least I couldn't feel the merciless bite of the cold air.
5- My crippling self doubt
6- the familiar, musky, old-people-scent greets me as I limp inside. Even if it isn't exactly an Elysian, I'm thankful for some comfort from my old life that I left behind.
7- turn a blind eye
8- caught wind of it
9- a fleeting smile
10- a fleeting glance
11- a sheepish grin
12- piercing stares
13- I could practically feel them burn a hole through the back of my head
14- halted to a stop
15- breathing life into it
16- I smirked. "Honey, I'm a nightmare dressed as a daydream."
17- I mirror their actions
18- mocking my attempts
19- it's risky
20- making her head spin
21- bright fluorescent lights
22- shrinking under their glares
23- precious
24- left without a backward glance.
25- developed a sudden interest in their feet
26- burden
Yeah. that's my list so far. Just thought I'd provide that as an example.
And it would mean THE WORLD to me if you voted. If you want. Anyway. Bye. Bye. Byeee. Bye!
