Photo Inspiration

Sometimes our muses stamp their feet and refuse to help. "Do it yourself," they snort. "Stop looking to me for inspiration. Haven't you got any ideas of your own?" On occasion, their 'treat them mean' attitude works and we find a gem amongst the rubbish heap. Other times though, it takes a friend to keep us going, maybe a friend with a camera.

Taking location inspiration from real life

Image
Real life doesn't just have to provide inspiration for our characters. It can also feed into the locations we use in our writing. This is the school I attended between the ages of seven and eight years old. This photograph, and more of the interior, was kindly taken by an old school friend. I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel.
