   As writers and poets we could vaguely say we are inspired by everything, but I'd like to hear more specific answers =]. Thoughts anyone?

      I would definitely say everything.
      lately~
      
      nature, its sounds and how it makes me feel
      injustice and biased opinions
      the effects of war on humanity
      love (always) losing it, having it, elusiveness
      a child
      music and how it affects us and how we need it in our lives
      
      just a few I do write a lot of poetry, it's soothing and a creative outlet for those feelings inside.

   Boys I fancy and boys that break my heart Hehe. Sometimes just sitting outside. Mainly it's being in touch with my feelings, and thoughts, and the struggle to find positivity and resolution. I'm a songwriter, so usually it's the opening line and then the rest follows I wrote a little about it in my debut Hub x

         Thank you..it is just passed midnight and I am sick with a terrible flu bug. Had to take my mom to the Dr today because she is sick too. Dr says she got the H1N1 bug and bronchitis as a secondary infection, so I have to go to the Dr tomorrow to see if I have a sinus infection on top of this flu. I am feeling pretty lousy and cannot sleep. Glad to see you on here!

    I think we say everything because we really just don't know! At least I don't. Inspiration usually comes from somewhere or someone unexpected, a thought during a conversation that triggers a memory or a connection to an experience that is suddenly current. It's completely unpredictable but I find it helps to have these little conversations, so to sum up it's people, other people that inspire me.

    What Inspires me to write my books?
    
    I write them because my audience of coaches, business people, and solo professionals need the book writing skills and asked me for them. You need to know your audience's needs before you write a chapter.
