Happy May, writers. Time to discuss our hopes and fears. Join us at Alex Cavanaugh's blog. The amazing co-hosts for the May 4 posting of the IWSG will be Stephen Tremp, Fundy Blue, MJ Fifield, Loni Townsend, Bish Denham, Susan Gourley, and Stephanie Faris!
We writers find inspiration in the strangest places. For me, Pinterest is top on my list. I'm addicted to Pinterest, I must admit.
I like to create a Pinterest board when writing to collect images and websites that relate to the story.
For my work in progress SPIKED (Blocked #3), I've pinned these images:
1) Volleyball T-shirts (the heroine from Blocked has quite a collection)
2) Bad pickup lines (How Mateo gets Jessica to laugh)
What inspires YOUR writing? What's the worst pickup line you've heard?

I wrote a section in my latest book about eerie music from the skies at a corrupt signing of a false peace treaty between the Lakota and the Army based on this tune also heard on Pandora: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ArEaOWqzYo
I guess I am a more audio influenced writer. :-)
Music is my inspiration. We have to use what motivates us.
