Writing Ideas

If you write, you know writing ideas are precious things. Things that come and go with a snap of a finger - yeah, that quick. And they can happen at any time of day, mine are usually after midnight when I'm half asleep and not in my right mind. Plus, I'm usually listening to music at the same time.

My inspiration comes from music, TV shows, movies, and everyday life. Mainly music and movies. If you looked at my iTunes purchase playlist right now, you'd see that I'm a music fiend. You have no idea how many songs I have. Let's put it this way, if you wanted to listen to all the music on my iTunes purchase playlist, it would take you exactly 5 days and this list gains music about almost every week. 

Inspiration will hit me at anytime of day/night. Right now I'm in the progress of rewriting this Harry Potter fanfic so my character (Emmalee) doesn't sound like a Mary-Sue. Yeah, that will get it's own post soon, I promise. So, I had this idea for months in the works and every time I tried to write it, it was terrible. I didn't like it, Bekah loved it but I couldn't get it right.

So, I thought and thought and thought and thought for months!

It hit me when I was reading this FanFiction, I would put the link to it but I don't remember the title or the author. I think she/he might have taken it down. It was brilliant! It involved Harry time-traveling back to his first-year of Hogwarts. Changing the outcome and becoming stronger to defeat Voldemort. It was a Harry/Luna fic, so if you think you found it, please tell me. I would love to reread it - I'm acting like it was a complete fic or something. He was placed in Ravenclaw over Gryffindor, if that helps.

I thought, "Time travel, that's a great idea! People have done time-travel HP stories before. How about I just change it up a bit and make it my own?" And, I started to write it. That's when I posted the prologue and someone had the nerve to review and say, "I spy a Mary-Sue." after one frickin' chapter. How about you get to know my character before you bad-mouth her? 

Emmalee is a complex character, and you think you know her after one chapter. Gee, thanks. 

Any who, I just was hit with an idea, making it different that before. I'm happy with the idea now. I'll bet Bekah will love this new idea anyway, better than before. I'm excited with this new idea. Now, I just have to write it in the next 7 hours or so. 

Hopefully Bekah answers my texts soon...

Until tomorrow,
