(nl-NL) Bloemencartouche met Mariabeeld; (en-GB) Garland of Flowers surrounding a Sculpture of the Virgin Mary - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/record/2021672/resource_document_mauritshuis_256.html. Daniël Seghers; Daniel Seghers; Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert. Mauritshuis. Public Domain - http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/ I hit a milestone in the current manuscript of 40 thousand words. No matter how many drafts I do, something about hitting that many words is a magical feeling.
This past week I've been thinking a lot about inspiration and where the ideas come from. So many times other mediums outside the written word. The nexus of an idea may come from the line in a song, a story from the forgotten pages of history, or an image.
Europeana always has images full of rich colors, images across the years, as it's pulled from the collections across Europe. My Spotify is full of playlists containing music across genres, always looking for that next idea.
I love how experiences can all pull together and find its way out into my stories. Reading, learning, exploring all shape the perspective and just lead to more ideas.
Have a great weekend!
