Now that’s a question I’ve heard many times.  It isn’t an easy one to answer.  My writing inspiration can come from a well-turned phrase in an overheard conversation.  It may come from something I see in a newspaper that makes me wonder ‘what if?’

     Your neighbor hauls five heavy bags of garbage to the curb.  What goes through your mind?  My mystery-twisted mind wonders if he cut up a body and is disposing of it.

     Scenes run through my head all the time.  Unfortunately, lately they don’t seem to make it to my computer.  This too shall pass as things settle down around here.

     Now it’s your turn.  What inspires your writing?
