How do you find inspiration to write? What do you like to write about?
 
For me it tends to be Fantasy-Medieval but I have done a few contemporary and also historical short novella, usually writing with a friend 'Flare'.
WIth the historicals, we usually go completely to town readling up on the time period (ie pre-Revolutionary France, or Ancient Greece) to try and get all the historical details and any RL persona absolutely correct. That is actually quite encouraging to my artistic Muse, in a way.

I write as if I'm there, doing it right then, and I have no idea what's going to happen next!

Often I have a detailed and proper story plan, all set out in front of me, but the characters in the story then have ... 'ideas' and take the tale away on seriously wide and unexpected tangents!

Coolness. I don't usually have a plan, just a vague idea. :D
 
You may not, but don't worry because we will! :p
