Hi All in writers land

I've just returned home from my honeymoon and oh my good for an amature romance writer it was incrediable. If you stuck for ideas the best thing to do is go on a holiday. it relaxed the brain and filled the imagination. Very Happy

Holidays are great for ideas. I found another way to get the juices flowing: watching someone else write makes me want to write. I wasn't well the other day so I curled up on the couch and watched this movie where the main character was a writer and showed her typing at her typewriter (old movie) with her notes beside her, and in the background was a row of her published books. The strongest urge to write washed over me. Must remember that next time I can't get my act into gear.

Now you mention it I've found the same thing in this movie where the writer has 30 days to write a novel or die so he hires a stenographer. anyway he dictates the story and its very interesting to see how he gets there he claims the characters tell the story and he didn't know how it would end until he got there.

The movie was Alex and Emma. not bad.

I love the idea though i think i may just have to stop at the store on my way home from work today.

And that Johnny Depp movie, I can't remember what it was called ... Secret Window perhaps?

Talk about creepy.
