Writing Inspiration...From My Daughter #daughters #inspiration #SecondChanceRomance

My children inspire me in so many ways. Little Guy's cute antics have played a role in previous books like False Impressions and Then Came You. The inspiration behind the story in my upcoming release, Finding Our Way Back, was from Sports Girl and her obsession...like MAJOR obsession with all things Grey's Anatomy. So much so that she wants to be a doctor, an anesthesiologist or a general surgeon. Yesterday, she had to have surgery--her first--and the doctors were getting a kick out of how observant she was with all things medical. She really, really wanted to remember what the inside of an OR looked like. The anesthesiologist was so sweet and spun her gurney around so she could absorb it all before she went under. And she asked the surgeon if he could take pictures of her foot while he had it cut open. Get this. He did! I REFUSE to look at those pictures but she's fascinated by it all. 

So, my book inspiration. No, it's not from her gross pictures. You're quite welcome. It comes from Grey's Anatomy. I'm not a huge TV watcher and have never seen an episode, but am familiar with the cast. I mean, come on. McDreamy?!?! Who doesn't know him?! (Fun fact: He's from Maine!!) So, a few years ago I tried to have a conversation with Sports Girl but she was, as usual, completely engrossed in a Grey's Anatomy episode. Normally she doesn't talk about the show but I happened to ask why the teary eyes and she gave me a fifteen second premise of the storyline before tuning me out again.

I don't know what happened in the actual episode, but my writer wheels were spinning out of control. I'd already written the first few books in my Well Paired series and Jenna's character had been introduced, but no one knew why she was quiet and elusive. I didn't even know why.

Until Sports Girl told me about the episode. And then Jenna's backstory came to life.  

Hers is a teary one, my friends. But you'll fall in love with her and her hero, I promise. And quite possibly you'll fall in love with another character who now needs their own book!

I can't wait for you to dive into Finding Our Waysmarturl.it/findingourwayback Back and look forward to what you have to say about Jenna...and her hero.

I am happy to know that your daughter had inspired you in so many ways. Being a writer could mean getting a lot of inspiration from almost everything around you, including people surrounding you. I am so happy that you have written a lot of books already, and that was pretty impressive! I always look forward to read more books from you because I see it as a perfect opportunity to learn more stuff from you. I have always desire to know you better! Your book inspiration is quite lit too!
