Fun, eh?<br />Fairy tales are also good places to start, for me: I'll find one that I like and use it as a sort of skeleton to build off of.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18075027004616936761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249809056594376069.post-4799264927692110622010-07-05T14:13:57.920-05:002010-07-05T14:13:57.920-05:00Maps.

Things like...street lamps, cracked asphalt, random songs [I once lost Writers Block because I was listening to a song that I didn't even like!], posts on blogs, thunderstorms. Inspiration can be so weird sometimes!!! :-D<br /><br />Blessings,<br />~LauraHannah Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827003871145275463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249809056594376069.post-61118398043119746132010-06-28T10:19:32.557-05:002010-06-28T10:19:32.557-05:00Dreams!
