Books have and will always be a big inspiration. Some books inspire you to write. Some inspire you to run outside and spin around in the rain. Some inspire you to spend an hour snuggled on the couch with someone you love. And some inspire you to be better. A better writer. A better mother. […]
I’m not sure where my love of fantasy originated from, but I do know cartoons played a part. A princess with the power of a rainbow who rides a prideful rainbow horse? GENIUS. Bears with cute little tummies that use those sparkling things to fight evil? How could you not love it? Plus, Care Bears […]
Usually, my muse is music, but this week it’s something much more dear to my heart. My daughter is 14 months. She’s reaching the age where everything she does makes me smile, well, almost everything. Since I work during the day, every moment spent with her is treasured. Right now my little girl is sitting […]
Moments can be inspiring, whether or taken from real life. Today, I want to take a moment from a classic movie: Dune. Dune is full of quotes, and one of my favorite quotes from the movie is about fear. Fear is the mind killer. Don’t let your day be full of fear, and don’t let […]

If you’re doing NaNo, you’re going to need a muse to get you motivated and pumped. Let me introduce you to: Dancing Groovy Girl. I found this gem years ago while searching Daft Punk videos. I’ve watched it over a dozen times and I still love it. She can rock it something serious. Oh, and […]
Inspiration can come from anywhere and anything. When writing about worlds that only exist on paper, setting is the key to creating a magical and inviting place. For this Monday’s inspiration, I’d like to take you to a Pinterest board I have called settings. Take a peek. I promise you’ll be awed and inspired. The […]
You might be wondering what PS4 has to do with fantasy… ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. My killzone bundle is on the way and I’m doing a happy dance, but since I’m supposed to be talking about fantasy, here’s a pic. PS4!!!! If you were one of the lucky ones to get PS4, I’ll […]
I was searching YouTube for a Skyrim music video because I’m a nerd and found this little gem. This entire music track is created with two things: Lindsey Stirling’s violin and Peter Hollens’ voice. I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty epic. So my muse this week is these two. Plenty of music to […]
