I returned home from work and wondered what I have to say on the matter of inspiration and it comes from a very simple source, a book series I read long ago called "The Worst Witch," it was actually the funniest little thing, predating Harry Potter.
The Worst Witch
I have always been a huge fan of the series and thought it was funny that I could watch a show that had a lot to do with magical worlds and giving a female a role that is not only hero, but also a klutz. I have always thought it was funny that Belinda strives for perfection.
When I was writing her, I was at first thinking of a character similar to Ethel Hallow, but it kind of turned the other way around, it was my desire to be prefect. Then I realized that in all the cases that Belinda is everything that is not prefect and that's about all I can say when I was designing characters.
Truthfully, when I was thinking about all the stuff I'm working on with the book, I keep forgetting to list the books that seem to bring me some great joy into writing.
Let's get started:
Eragon Series or Inheritance
The Magicians Trilogy
Harry Potter Series
Star Wars Expanded Universe
Magic Knights Rayearth Manga
Vampire Princess Miyu Manga (if you can find it, is out of print sadly)
Pretty much that's been a bit of what I like to talk about when it comes to what I'm using to inspire my writing some books are always the same to people. Usually you could see me at a library picking away through it trying to find Sci-Fi Fantasy and more. Most people don't seem to realize how connected I am to books.
