This, That, and the Other

For this week’s edition of Blogging Insights, Dr. Tanya poses her third in a series of questions about what inspires us to blog. She wants to know…

What are some unusual or out of the way sources of inspiration that get you writing?

This is a toughie because for the past 15 months or so, thanks to the pandemic, I haven’t been to any unusual or out of the way places to find unusual or out of the way sources for my writing. Most of my inspiration comes from the usual sources: news, prompts, or my personal life experiences.

That said, when I write flash fiction posts, my inspiration often emanates from inside my head via my own imagination, which can, at times, be a very unusual and out of the way place, with myriad catacombs, dark corners, bright flashes of light, and continuously firing synapses.

Bottom line: I have no good answers to Dr. Tanya’s question this week.
