(smile) I have been away from my office most of the day. Just popping in to say howdy. So glad that everyone is enjoying the post today. I thought turning the agony of menopause into something creative was such a neat idea. I'm with Marian in thinking maybe I should consider some of the murderous inclinations I had when I was going through the Change as fodder for future stories.<br /><br />Nick, you are right about inspiration coming from anywhere. I do think we all draw from personal experience and give those experiences to our characters.<br /><br />Holly, I love the water ballet analogy. So neat.<br />Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-44636664692548404732013-03-13T08:19:07.586-07:002013-03-13T08:19:07.586-07:00Damyanti, Inspiration does come from the craziest ...Damyanti, Inspiration does come from the craziest places!<br /><br />M.J.

I know I plotted murder during that time (of any number of people who were annoying me) but I never thought to put it in a story. <br /><br />Nice job.

Marian, two women in the house with raging hormones must have been a real picnic for the rest of the family :) Glad you both came out on the other end successfully.

Which is why I hold out hope for lots of creativity down the road.<br /><br />Holly, I've got lots of diabolical plots swimming around in my head that will only hurt the fictitious ones I love... because I have to admit I did get attached to my characters through the process!<br /><br />Happy Writing!<br />AnneAnne Louise O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466905565637673954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-56900276459969210142013-03-13T06:56:45.077-07:002013-03-13T06:56:45.077-07:00Writing is definitely cathartic.

It also lets you explore the water ballet in the back of your mind without risk of drowning, lets you torture your enemies with impunity, and may even bring readers a few moments' escape from their own daily madness. Just a few of the reasons I love it, too! :) Holly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28674373.post-35059272001416914322013-03-13T06:56:12.004-07:002013-03-13T06:56:12.004-07:00Inspiration can come from anywhere!
