Something strange happened to me
Do you believe in miracles?
The whole shebang in two hours time
Honestly? I used to be skeptical about ideas that ‘find their way’ to someone. I had read about inspiration that could hit you, but I never experienced anything like it. My perspective changed a short while ago.
Let me tell you what happened to me on a cold Friday night, early February. The months before that I had been struggling with my fifth book. It did not work and I felt depleted. But that something hit me. I needed to do something with the song in my head. I took a shower, spent the night with my family and forgot about it all together.
The next day I opened my laptop with no particular thought on my mind. A white document with a pulsing cursor in front of me. I am not sure why or how, but I started writing and writing. I kept typing away until I had a two thousand word document: the synopsis of my new book.
This had never happened to me before. Within a two hour span I received the whole shebang: the complete outline, my protagonist, the beginning and the end. It all landed in my lap unexpectedly. It was the start of something extraordinary.
