Many things can inspire a writer but it takes diligence, dedication and plain hard work to make it come to fruition. Ideas are one thing, hard slog is another!

I agree Maud! There are a lot of great ideas that is just wasted because they failed to make an effort to put the ideas into reality.

Jasper Fforde's literary detective Thursday Next travels in and out of books and in "The Well Of Lost Plots" she takes refuge in a never-published detective novel. The discarded, half-written characters always hope they will get resurrected or move into another novel; it's like a limbo land. Humorous yet it makes you think.....

Ummmm.... What inspires me is whenever I think of chemistry. It seems like everyday chemical compounds and elements are doing more than me. Whenever I think that I go straight to my spiderman notebook and start writing. ...sometimes I think I'm a little odd.
