Inspiration: A Ghost Story
What inspires you? A couple of weeks ago, I asked my fellow writers over on Twitter where they get their inspiration from for their writing, and although answers varied, a number of them did come up with similar answers. Mainly TV, movies, games and music. I’ve talked before about how some of my writing has … Continue reading Inspiration: A Ghost Story
