Where does inspiration come from? I’ve often asked myself that question. I suppose it comes to everyone in different ways. Yes that is a cliché answer. But true. Well, I have to say. I am very excited. After years and years of searching for inspiration on a large scale, I’ve been hit with an idea for my first novel. It came to me while watching the news. I saw a little news report and it snapped a light in my brain. Ya just never know do ya?  It’s all I can think about. My first novel.

I know that many of you reading this post have written and published books. So much talent here on the Stream.  I admire you all. It is daunting and exciting all at the same time isn’t it? I know this project will take me years. I need to do a great deal of research on my subjects. I have to develop characters. But I am very excited. I hope I’m up to the task. It’s a tremendous challenge. One of my biggest. It is not like the little shorts that I’ve been writing of late. I’ve done nothing on a scale of this magnitude. But I’m going to give it my best shot. Nervous, excited, frightened all at the same time. I must fight the procrastinator in me. I know you’ll all be here with me the whole exciting, painful, death-defying way. I'm chomping at the bit here, and taking that big leap.

Literary world, HERE I COME!!!!
