#IWSG Day

March 1 question – Have you ever read a line in a novel or a clever plot twist that caused you to have author envy?

I always have author envy, which is one of the motivations for writing.

Sometimes it’s envy, sometimes sheer admiration. Mostly a confusing brew of both, I think, and add these ingredients to the concoction of Creativity. I find inspiration in reading great writers.

I was inspired to write as a kid while reading “A Wrinkle In Time.” I remember it as clear as day. Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, I saw what I wanted to be. I wanted more than anything to be the mind behind the story, the storyteller.
